Bernard Hopkins took calculated risks, he is 1 of the most overrated modern ATG

[IronDanHamza]

This is the same guy saying Toney is better than Hopkins!

Calzaghe was better than Tarver in 2006 despite poorer opposition, and he disliked Tarver because he was inconsistent. THAT IS LITERALLY HOPKINS AND TONEY.

The double standards this guy comes up with are unreal.

Haha, true.

That's literally a complete double standard.

And just to throw it out there, when Tarver lost to Harding, Roy and Johnson, he beat them all convincgly in the rematches unlike James Toney.

[bojangles1987]

Stop man, prime is physical.





This is Hopkins in his prime and would demolish the version of himself who fought taylor or trinindad for that matter. People watch too many karate kid old man master bull****.

Sometimes I forget just how bruising and damaging a fighter Hopkins was at his best.

"Head on centre of defense"

What the **** are these bizarre staments you are making?

"Deliberate style"

ИATAS Robinson...... Do you know?

"Head on center defense" is term we use in advanced boxing. This isn't boxing 101, this is boxing 1,001!

"Head on center of defense" let's break it down

Head = literally your head.
Center = literally the center of your body
Defense = literally your defense.

So to conclude, the head sits on the center of the body mass while being defensive, hence "Head on center of defense, son!"

This is an example of head on center defense:


See that tight fade? We can purportalize this fade as being "head on center", the long pony tail in the back is the "defense", while the wave in the front/top is just for show...make sense now? Of course it doesn't because therealpugilist literally makes up terms!

yea i make up terms....kmsl

[therealpugilist]

Calzaghe wasn't even on the radar. He's a paper titlest and completely unknown.

Tarver was one of the best P4P fighters in the world. He might not have been P4P to you but to everyone else in the world he was.

It's not even comparable and you're revising history.

he wasnt on YOUR radar....newsflash.....their are thousands of active boxers at any given time, just because you arent high on someone or heard of them doesnt mean other fans havent

"Head on centre of defense"

What the **** are these bizarre staments you are making?

"Deliberate style"

ИATAS Robinson...... Do you know?

meaning he stands square


weight should be on the rear leg, he keeps his on the front and his head centered instead of behind his lead shoulder

your lead hand and shoulder should align with the centre line of your opponents body on defense

this way you can defend with your hands to parry, if shots get past your hands you can block with the elbows, roll with the shoulder, or all fails roll with the punch with your head


come on man, you guys talking boxing skills and dont even know simple aspects of the game

"Deliberate style"

ИATAS Robinson...... Do you know?

use common sense for once in your life man and stop trying to be some know it all and sarcastic

what does deliberate mean? carefully weighed or considered; studied; intentional:

characterized by deliberation or cautious consideration; careful or slow in deciding:

leisurely and steady in movement or action; slow and even; unhurried:
moving with a deliberate step.

Simply he fights a steady pace and if his style isnt imposed and he has to fight a faster pace, he gets unrattled.

[Scary]

Honestly Hopkins is one of the greatest fighters ever.

[therealpugilist]

Lol. Okay.

so Hopkins doesnt specializing in neutralizing come forward types?

His best performances are fighters with similar styles. common sense


people be in their feelngs too much on this site

his best wins are trinidad , pavlik, and other aggressive guys he struggles with boxers and athletic guys
