This content is protected Joe Lipsey wasn't a bad fighter. He was one of many talented middleweights at that time. This period was probably Bernard's physical peak. His game was pretty well balanced. He had a dynamic offense, airtight defense and a deep bag of nastiness whenever he needed it. Many might only remember the later Hopkins who had a low punch output, was an agitator, not that crowd pleasing. He was probably physically past it when he got the Trinidad fight. He doesn't have the names on his resume but late 90s Hopkins give a good account of himself against any Middleweight in history.
