    Coming in at a 3/1 underdog and considered to be at the end of his career Bernard Hopkins stepped up to face WBA MW champion Felix Trinidad who had stopped William Joppy in 5 rounds in his previous fight to become world champion.

    The following is a true story of how one man made a whole nation take a knee :deal

    TBH, I never understood why BH was an underdog in this fight. FT was struggling with Vargas at JMW and had problems outboxing DLH at WW.

    Trinidad was completely outclassed. It wasn't really a size thing. Even when Hopkins stood in front of him Trinidad was out fought.
