What were the low and high points in the career of Bernard Hopkins?

High point, discovering roids.
Low point, being humiliated by Calzaghe after talking so much **** about the fight.

 

High point for me - Tito, De La Hoya and the Pascal fights
Low point - Taylor fights and the fights he faked injurys in

 

Low point: Acting like Calzaghe landed a bomb of a low bomb. Punching low and headbutting.

High point: The honor of going the distance with a true ATG. A story he can tell his grandkids.." I lost to Joe Calzaghe".

 

He didn't get beat by a white boy The white boy got a gift. Bernards problems stem from his refusal to cow down & be a yes man Bernard marched to his own drummer. That cost him wins against Calzaghe & two against Taylor. Win or lose tomorrow he'll still be regarded as one of the best of all time

 

Have you watched the fight yet? Also if "marching to his own drum" cost him his victories over Calzaghe and Taylor..Then what about the Wright fight. He should of lost that too.. It was close.

 

That fight wasn't close. Right hand problems even touching Hopkins. Hopkins had cardio issues for the Wright and Calzaghe fights. He still should have gotten the nod over the Welshman. You could tell the fix was in by the imaginary connects compubox was tallying for Calzaghe. It was about 150 punches off.

 

Was about to say the same!

Low point: Losing to Chad Dawson by faking an injury.

 

You're right, 9-3 Calzaghe all day. Bernard got outworked and clowned.

 

High point: I think he has a few but if I had to only pick one, I'd say it was his 12th round KO of Felix Trinidad. His win over Pavlik would rank 2nd and Tarver 3rd.

Low Point: First Dawson fight where it looked like he quit in the 2nd round after that wrestling takedown. Chad should've been deducted a point and the fight should've kept going. It didn't look like B-Hop wanted anything to do with him in that fight and it looked like he took the easy way out.

 

low point was classlessly calling out "no whyte boy" to a clearly inferior but prime boxer when you are 40something and able to get beaten by such inferiorty now.

its just plain stupid. if you are 43, you dont call names at a much younger man. u grow up and learn respect and know you are now beatable by a guy you would EASILY STOP by KO 10 years ago.


highpoint was coming back at near 50 to very breifly unify, admittedly against some sucka champs OR notching up the 20th defence.

 

Hopkins took seven rounds clearly. 115-112 would have been the correct score.

 

Pure rubbish

 

I've seen all of his fights from that era - I've got his career set on dvd. Some of his fights were fun to watch, like Tito, Johnson and Joppy, but a lot of them were god-awful.

 

Agree with this wholeheartedly.

 

You just picked out three fights that were fairly one sided, and weren't three of his most exciting though, and then you criticize that a lot of them were god awful. That suggests that you really aren't familiar with his middleweight career.
