Are us fans partially to blame?

oop Jonh mugabi got knocked out right after the hagler fight he must not of bin **** neither nobody in boxing is **** lol. You people are hillarious.

 

yeah but hearns went on to win titles at middleweigh, super-mid, and light heavyweight - you see the difference there?

hopkins turned down $3m to fight calzaghe in america and you think he rejected that fight because calzaghe didn't have an identity

you think that was the key to hopkins fighting hakkar 6 months later for $750'000? you think hopkins said to his promotional team

"hakkar has got a huge identity. i know i will only earn of quarter of what i would by fighting calzaghe but **** all that money, hakkar has a monstrous identity, he's the fight i need to build my legacy" :rofl

 

hopkins fought calzaghe sandwiched inbetween 3 of his best wins of his entire career (tarver, wright, pavlik) :deal

not only that,

- calzaghe fought at light heavy for the 1st time :deal

- calzaghe fought on foreign turf :deal

- calzaghe beat hopkins despite joe cortez delivering one of the most bias refereeing performances ever seen in an american ring :deal

 

You dont seem to understand that was bernards division why would he drop his legacy to move up to his weightclass when they should be coming to his weightclass where hes reigning. Bernard got megafights with trinidad and oscar so he wasnt hurting at all from a money standpoint.

 

he beat some welterweights up 2 years later, big deal

calzaghe dominated super-mid as much as hopkins dominated middleweight. he was offered a career high pay day to fight on home territory and you don't think that was any kind of incentive :nut

hopkins chose the easy option instead of testing himself for career high paydays :deal

 

lol trinidad went on to win a world title after that fight too.

 

Haglers megafights were against welterweights too so i guess he wasnt **** neither hagler and bernard are bums hahaha

 

the NABC middleweight title against atg middleweight mayorga :rofl

 

lets take away haglers win against duran. Duran was a blownup lightweight lol You see what u sound like? take your hating ass somewhere else.

 

o yeah Mayorga wasnt **** neither he only knocked out vernon forrest what a BUUM lol

 

i don't give marvin a great deal of credit for his victory over duran :deal

 

tell me what middleweights mayorga has beat? :think

 

here is bernard hopkins best 6 wins broken down, take away the smoke and mirrors, the hbo and ring magzaine brainwashing and this is what your left with


trinidad
prime weight = welterweight (147)
fought hopkins at middleweight (159)
trinidads record at middleweight or above from hopkins onwards = 2 wins / 3 defeats

winky wright
prime weight - light middleweight (154)
fought hopkins at - 170 lbs
in 57 fights, the hopkins fight was the only fight that wright had weighed over 160 lbs (a full 10lbs difference) :rofl

de la hoya
prime weight - welterweight (147lbs)
fought hopkins at - middleweight (160lbs)
de la hoya only fought twice in his career at middleweight out of 45 fights -1 win / 1 loss - the win was a very debatable decision over eurobum felix sturm

pavlik
prime weight - middleweight (160 lbs)
fought hopkins at - 170 lbs
in 34 fights pavlik had only fought 2 minnions at the beginning of his career at 169. all pavliks fights since hopkins have been at the 160 limit.

tarver
prime weight 175
great 2 weight jump from hopkins and his best win despite tarver being a b-level fighter and going 3 wins / 3 losses from hopkins onwards.

johnson
prime weight -super mid / light heavy (162 to 175)
fought hopkins at - middleweight (160)
johnsons record at 160 + from hopkins onwards - 19 wins / 14 defeats / 2 draws
the defeats have come against people of the level of ottke, woods, shieka, gonzales, harmon, branco, vanderpool, Kiwanuka, sosa :rofl














then throw in hopkins 4 defeats to the only top class fighters he ever fought at a fair weight (jones, calzaghe, and taylor twice) and you get a true reflection of the career of bernard hopkins :deal

 

Your logic is frickin screwed up if the guy u beat doesnt go on to win another world title he was never ****. John Mugabi got knocked out out after his fight with hagler and never won a the middleweight belt again so we have to say he was garbage by your logic.
