His longevity as a champion, and fighting the best. Him finishing Trinidad, and De la Hoya , as well.
Happy 50th Bday to the craftiest boxer of this generation. IMHO BHop should be rated very high in the all time rankings. After all, he's the greatest old man of boxing in my eyes.
What do you most remember Hopkins for? Where is he in your all time rankings?
I remember Bhop most for beating the then seemingly juggernaut and undefeated Tito Trinidad. Tito i think overlook Bhop opting to have a showdown with then pound for pound king Roy Jones Jr. And then ofcourse the fight with Golden Boy giving OScar Dela Hoya his only Knockout loss after taking a liver punch from Hopkins
EDIT: i rate Bhop inside 30 greatest fighters of all time
"MMA is just male entertainment, I'm from the hood I don't play that" lol
remember him most for this quote and for somehow disguising the dirtiest tactics imaginable as being "crafty". He's an obvious legend but if anyone else tried to pull the trick B-Hop does on a regular basis they would be hated intensely for it.
I remember him beating RJJ and Antonio tarver. He is definitely in my top 25.
P.S. Happy birthday Bernard Hopkins!
I remember him for beating Felix Trinidad.
BHops is a top 100 among all fighters and a top 10 among middleweights.
For being a crafty, old school, trash talking and smart boxer.
Top 100
