Sorry to upset a few Hopkins lovers but what did Hopkins do that was so great except counterpunch to death and jab and grab?

Does anyone seriously put this up there with Calzaghe's total destruction of Lacy or Rickys mammoth effort stopping Tszyu?

Hopkins did the same thing round after round drew Tarver in countered and then grabbed and occasionly used the upercut .

B-Hop never upped the pace or tried to stop a man clearly frightened and in the process of a mental breakdown !!

Credit Hopkins with his clever use of the ring and mastering range but i didnt see any variety or anything New.

If Calzaghe had been in with Tarver he would have completely out classed him with handspeed, power and his command of distance and timing and stopped him

Hopkins immpressed me he was clever got the job done but left you feeling still room to improve and he was carrying Tarver.

Great fighters define themselves Hopkins just did what he does .

Every single exchange ended with his hugging grabbing and rabbit punching .

Hopkins deserves to be called Great that is for sure but honestly i always feel he could have done so so much more .
