    yea but remember this guy (hopkins) is like wine...dude gets better as he gets older...the hopkins that fought roy jones would have lost to tito and oscar..he's way better now..also he wont retire undefeated but as one of the best if he beat sturm and tito..and who knows if he goes up to fight tarver

    also hopkins lost to jones..but he wasnt ever hurt by him or stunned

      ring magazine (belt)....they're the only one's with any kind of credibility..and the sad thing is they don't count as far as fights are concerned, and making fights...

        I meant as an undefeated champion, never being defeated while champion, if he retires while still holding the title

          Sure, correct it now. I think Bernard is NOT the greatest middleweight, maybe 5th, at best. He has been lucky to not have the type of competition the other great middleweights had in their day. However, that is not B-Hops fault. He did fight DLH and Trinidad but they can be considered blown-up welterweights, too. DLH more than Trinidad, tho.

          I say Jeff Lacy puts a beating on Hopkins the likes of which we haven't seen in decades. Imagine Tito - Mayorga but with Lacy whooping on Hopkins.

            What do you mean Sure correct it now - you think I didn't know he was beaten twice, and how can you compare Tito - Mayorga to Hopkins - Lacy, since how is X like Mayorga
            And when did I say he was the greatest middleweight champion!!!

                You'll find chilly i said he deserves a shot OR a name fighter, I never once said he was robbed, I don't think he would beat either Tito or X, but technically he's just as deserving as Sturm and Tito, he was no1 now he's no 2, anyways that's by the by now he's getting to fight for the mandatory against Taylor (no 3) so it looks like he IS getting his chance to justify his position

                  It's truely sad, i feel for Howard very much. It's things like this that will ruin his career. Don't get me wrong i would love to see a Bernard-Tito rematch but on a fairness level this is someones livelihood they are messing with by not giving him a shot. I hope he gets to fight Jermain or some other respectable name.
