    didn't Hopkins drop Mercado and not have it counted? Or am I mixing up fights?

    I had it for Hopkins. But it was close as hell. His own fault for making it so dirty, might have cost him some of those rounds. I think one of the judges gave Hopkins only 4 rounds, which was BS.

    Heck, I had the Dawson rematch a draw(best case for Hopkins). Dawson barely landed anything in the first half of the fight.

    The only men to clearly beat him were Kovalev, Smith and Jones. The rest were extremely close fights.

    Btw, I would like to point out something interesting, since Hopkins gets a lot of **** for it.
    Hopkins-156
    De La Hoya-155

    Hopkins-157
    Trinidad-158

    A lot of people criticize Hopkins for picking on smaller men.
    And often Hopkins was either 168, or under on fight night.

    Roy Jones is the first name to spring to mind. He accomplished more than Bernard.

    How is your question relevant to my previous point?

    Lost fairly to Jermain Taylor I thought. Both times. Hops Achilles heal was his low punch output.
