    no he aint. Bernard kinda reminds me of Lennox. Both are great, BUT they faced lil oppositions in their era despite them fightin TA BEST of THAT TIME. Lennox woulnd't have lasted 5 rounds gainst a prime Tyson, so does Hopkins gainst a prime Hagler. Hagler by TKO in 4. Brutal at best.

      Bernard haters..

      I am so confident in him beating Taylor, I will bet EVERYTHING on this fight.

      I am going to bet EVERY single point that I have.
      I already made a 3 month avatar/signature bet with Super Lightweight

      I am also willing to bet whoever wins, the loser can't post for 2 months.

          bhop couldnt hurt lamotta but lamotta could certainly hurt him.
          bhop is the best of our era but not the best of all eras.

Him and Hagler are so much alike why would they fight if i were them, i wouldnt either, i would just claim 2b the greatest and do some tag team boxing and dominate
            i picked bhop to win the first fight, and im picking bhop to win the second fight. i think he is one of the top five middleweights of all time. that being said, the guy lost. he didnt bring his a game, and he could have easily won the fight.
            bernard and hagler are NOT very similar fighters, you apparently havent seen enough hagler fights to make a proper judgements on this matter

                I was talking about Ray Robinson. Show me the fight where Ray Robinson KOed DLH or outfoxed Howard Eastman by running around for two minutes and a time and I'll say he's better than B-Hop. Until then B-Hop is the greatest.

                    hopkins has a good resume, but people can find flaws in everyones resume, its best to ignore it, both tito and dlh are good wins, and the fact that hes had 20 title defenses just shows hes a great champ.
                    its not like tito and dlh were forced to move up to middleweight, they were both in good shape and put up a good fight, but just got overwhelmed
