    Yes overated. A retired and outsized Trinidad came back for a payday in exchange for his scalp. Nothing more to it.

    Yeah, I'm sure he'll be remembered for those things rather than twenty defenses and being the oldest fighter to win a world title. :good

    Yes he would, and in dramatic smash him down to the floor fashion.

    People rag on Hopkin's reign for the same reason they rag on RJJ's.... because when you have a dominant champ who shuts mother****ers down nobody else gets to shine. It's not Hard Nard's fault that some dumbass board posters are blind to that.

    It's almost as ******ed as comparing Berto to Trinidad, which apparently is something Nard bashers think is reasonable.

    C-level... right. Joppy was 9-1 in world title fights prior to the Trinidad fight and 11-2 prior to the Hopkins fight. C-level my ass.

    Bernard should have been a greater ppv star since he beat ODLH. For some reason it didn't happen the same way it did for Pac.
