Bernard has never (especially now) fought great, he fights smart! He has never fought a great fighter other than Jones in 93 and got beat. He won over Jones in 2010 when Jones was long passed prime years! he was beaten by Taylor twice and he's not a great fighter!
Bernard is marketing himself right now and being smart about and that beats picking up the pennies as the "opponent"! He's calling the shots and hand picking who he fights. In the mean time his T-shirt business is booming hahahaha!!!
I don't didcredit or disrespect Bernard but I draw the line when he's refered to as a great fighter. He certainly is not a top tier middle all time and as a ltHvy he would get hurt! He hasn't got ATG power and as a front main event fighter he would need to stand and fight or atleast punch off his movement. The back to the ropes "sliding" around the ring would get him hurt badly against Spinks or Foster and Charles. He's not a great puncher he's a stratigised and can get away with it against the kids he fights today because their NOT hungry or experienced. Same could be said about todays fans they don't know what an exciting fighters is because there isn't one fighting right now! Ray
I was right. You don't know shit about boxing. Hopkins is a great fighter. Want me to tell you why? Pay me. I'm not about to waste my time teaching you something that as a boxing fan you should already know
