Antonio Tarver wasn't a small guy and neither was Jean Pascal. Both fighters were and are in the Light Heavyweight division when he beat them AND they were both Champions in that division coming off of wins when Hopkins fought them. He fought Joe Calzaghe at Light Heavyweight as well. Guys move up all the time. Trinidad was the WBA middle weight champion when Hopkins fought him. I would say the only small guys he fought moving up was Oscar, Pavlik and Winky Wright. And people actually thought Kelly Pavlik would knock Bernard Hopkins out. Correct me if I am wrong.

you make a good point....wins over simon brown, tito, oscar, winky, pavlik, and even pascal to a certain extent lined up back to back look great on paper, but in the ring hopkins was way bigger and stronger than those cats...even jones was a name that hopkins could exploit, but the fighter was way past better days...Comment

dj***bal has been exposed so many times. He said before the pascal fight he'll give hopkins credit if he wins, now he's trying to say he was the smaller fighterit will never stop.
he said he'll give hopkins credit if he beats dawson but we know it wont stop there either.Comment

[QUOTE=Mzembe;11279206]Did you mean to say, "It's a beautiful thing B-Hop schooling small guys" which means, him taking advantage of beating blown up WW's or other Smaller guys or selectively (and wisely so) picking guys he knows he can beat.
Of course I now expect you to come charging and cursing at me because I basically disagree with your comment.
B-Hop is a bottom feeder, an opportunist who only goes after small guys or guys more famous than himself so he can make a case for himself to be considered an all-time great.
If he does beat Chad Dawson though, I will take back everything I have ever said about him, unless of course Chad was paid to take a fall by GBP.
Again, no need for you to come swinging with curses. Present your FACTS, that's all.[/QUOTE
