At worst it was a draw. Draw the belt stays with Bernard. If you watch the fight again Hopkins won 7 rounds to 5. Watch it without the HBO loving Taylor commentators who doubted Hopkins his whole career.
That fight did not have too many CLEAR rounds. Many of them were subjective, because not too many punches were landed..... Taylor missed alot of shots but was more active, hop landed some good shots but was inactive and clinched alot.... This was a very hard fight to score and very subjective.... There is no clear objective argument for either fighter winning the fight decisivly..... So to call that fight a robbery, just dosent make sense......
I won't debate his middle weight reign he will stil go down in history as one of the best middleweights of all time..But if were going to rank him all time he will fall behind some fighters I just don't think he actually won agaisnt a fighter that was close to his equal so that may hurt his ranking but his accomplishments cannot be over looked ..Fighters like Jones and Calzaghe will rank ahead of him but its not a weak fraternity to be apart of ..
