He have outboxed everyone he has faced, although he was outworked by Taylor and joe slappy which I thought bhop should have won scoring a kd and winning first five rounds and 1 swing round. Only prime Roy beat Bhop and that was bc bhop was not that exprienced technically at that time.
I had B-Hop winning both Taylor bouts as well as the Calzaghe bout. Of course they were very close fights and the issue has been discussed to death here on ESB. Anyways, B-Hop should get a big payday in a super-rematch against the winner of Calzaghe-RJJ and then retire filthy rich with an ATG legacy and his health intact.
B-Hop is a beast. We haven't seen cleanly beat or beat up in forever and he continues to pull tricks like this one. Makes it hard to ever bet against this guy.
James Toney vs Bernard Hopkins would be a great fight if they could fight at a catch weight of 190..! The build up.. They are both bad asses, plus James Toney has stated that he is the only old school fighter left. And he said..Bernard Hopkins is not old school.
I agree, and I feel that he and RJJ should fight one last time, regardless of whether or not RJJ wins or loses against Calzaghe. Hopkins is an amazing story, and amazing man, and one of, if not, the best fighter of this generation. An all-time great in anyone's book.
