The first time he faced a middleweight with class, He got beat by roy jones jr.
The 2nd & 3rd time he beat a middleweight with class, He got beat by Jermaine Taylor. How can you call yourself a legendary fighter if you get outpointed by Jermaine freaking taylor?
All of his notable wins are against famous boxers from lower divisions. He beat oscar who is a career welterweight & was moving up from junior welterweight. He beat a undefeated felix trinidad who only had one fight at middleweight before facing hopkins.
People want to complain that pacquiao is a catchweight king when he only had one catchweight fight vs miguel cotto, well....
Bernard is the true king of catchweights,
catchweights vs oscar de la hoya, winky wright, & kelly pavlik. Even his other notable win vs a on his way to washed up antonio tarver has to be re evaluated. How great of a fighter will tarver end up? Not great at all. What were the circumstances surrounding the fight? Tarver had to lose so much weight after filming the crappiest rocky film of them all.
When bernard stepped up to fight his next classy opponent, he makes another fighter move up in weight joe calzaghe. What happend there?
He got slapped around & faked another one of his famous phantom injuries.
Beranard "Soapy" Hopkins, not as great as we think.
