Bernard Hopkins always stated that 4 of his losses were robberys,yet he only admits defeat to Legend Roy Jones Jr,some of his losses i can agree dat he waz robbed but What fights did ya feel Bernard Hopkins rightfully won and waz robbed of the victory? And what fights did ya feel Bernard Hopkins rightfully lost and waz no robbery cuz he waz cleary beaten?
I can't comment on his debut defeat. I thought he won the two fights with Taylor and lost a tight one to Calzaghe.
alot of people thought he lost to segundo mercardo...which bhop was knocked down twie and came away with a draw
To all those that claim Hops was robbed vs. Joe Calzaghe: :rofl You have to throw punches to win fights, not fake injury & fouls................Bernie was simply out worked, out hustled & out landed. Borenard is a sore loser who was soundly beaten by a better fighter who just happened to be a white boy.
He lost at age 39+40 vs Taylor...close fights...and 43 vs Calzaghe.. I dont think a Hopkins pre trinidad would have lost those fights..
robberies?! he lost some close fights and people call it a robbery...no way. lewis vs holyfield 1...now that was a robbery
He lost to Calzaghe. Calzaghe simply was throwing more, Bhop was wrestling and throwing elbows. Clean punches you can argue about, but BHop made that an ugly fight and then looked worn out down the stretch. I still dont see how anyone can have him winning that one. Against Taylor, both fights were either or fights. I thought he lost the first fight. He decided to fight in rounds 9-12 after having been lazy in 1-8. In the 2nd fight he fought strong for six and then Taylor came back in the 2nd half. I believe I had him losing both Taylor fights, Or I might have scored the 2nd one a draw.
