Ladies and gents, here is Bernard Hopkins post retirement. http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhJOG7TPP6eNQKMPG5 After that career, how the hell is this dude so healthy? A true legend!
Amazing fighter. He really didn't take that much punishment despite such a long career into an advanced age. Says it all.
The guys a legend and deserves a top ten place in middle s. I can recall seeing him fight Jones in 93 and thinking he's a good solid fighter. And then when he challenged for the vacant title but got a draw. But would never in a hundred years have thought he would have gone on to fight over twenty years like he did and achieved so much. So for him to be like he is today is a credit to the guy. One of a kind.
Great fighter, but took 2 horrible beatings in his last 2 fights. I honestly believe the Smith Jnr fight ending was a fix.
He had an underrated Middleweight title reign. And anyone who takes on Kovalev at the near age of 50 has the balls of a lion. Definitely a p4p all time great and its refreshing to see that he's doing well in retired life.
Wait a few years. He just retired. Even though he had good Defense, he fought 25 yrs so he took some punishment. Any negative effects will show later.
