For a self trained guy with like 14 fights and was already rich, he actually didn't do too bad. I just saw a guy who fought Hopkins fight and lost. Not saying he was competitive, but it took Hopkins 4 rounds to finally figure him out and open up.

Plus he can tell his kids he beat Bernard Hopkins on one scorecard. No one else agrees, but at least one person that night had him winning.

Wonder if Pascal, Cloud, Murat and Shumenov feel at all embarassed at getting clowned on by a 50 year old man.
