Thread: Bernard Hopkins Trivia... CC to the winner

Hopkins is known as "The Executioner" but he had one other nickname in the professional boxing circuit.. what was it?

The professor?

no, nice try though.

Shittt,I forgot it,I had it a second ago.It was earlier in his career when he was meaner and more ferocious,just went in and killed his opponent!!!!Crapp...um...hold up,I'll remember.

Ug-Mug

The Killer.....the destroyer.....something really unfriendly and mean..crap,I can't remember!!

The Terror.

The Hitman right?

He was 'The Terminator', then 'The Destroyer' , before becoming 'The Executioner'

I think he changed the nickname in his fourth or fifth fight, when a commentator said that he 'executed' his opponent

and for you ladies and gentleman "The Terror's 5th pro fight" oh 5 hours notice and living in philly, a young Bernard Hopkins gets a call that he is a replacement for a fight, he drives from Philly(or gets flown whichever) and fights his opponent that was already trained and scheduled to fight... this sparked..the beginning..of an era... see how it began

i thought Michael Buffer only announced the big fights?

My god were there mics on Bernard's gloves on that first knockdown? Those were ridiculously loud. Please tell me there were mics somewhere near by, noone should have that power.

thank you for the clip! i never saw such early footage of him and it was a great showing!

Hopkins was something else back then And he still is something else

Look at how young Bouie fischer was
