Bernard Hopkins has lost 3 of his last 5 fights...

B-Hop only lost these fights on paper.
I'm not gonna discuss here who won, Calzaghe or B-Hop, Taylor or B-Hop, there have been more than enough threads about that here already, but one has to have a closer look at these 'losses' and one will understand why B-Hop is still a top ten p4p fighter, even at age 43

 

Bernard is still a tremendous fighter but the fact is he's always susceptable to losing a decision now based purely on work-rate. The guy just cannot keep up.

 

yep, I said it. Taylor was outclassing him definitely in the first fight, until that cheap headbutt that caused that gruisome cut. Taylor wasn't the same after that cut. And in the second fight, Taylor knew firsthand the legend of Hopkins dirty fighting, and was gonna make sure he didn't lose. Before the cut, taylor was outclassing him.
