The knock on Bernard Hopkins

[BIG H]

TM - I've just seen you criticize Cazlaghe's opposition in another thread, but yet you are trying to make William Joppy & Keith Holmes some kind of great resume for Hopkins

Keith Holmes destroyed a younger version of Richie Woodhall, and Richie Woodhall is considered one of Joe Calzaghe best wins. But Joe Calzaghe fought an older more shot Richie Woodhall. Keith Holmes was never elite i'll admit, but he is better than most of Joe Calzaghe's opposition.

A better way to look at it would be to list all the people that Hopkins could've fought at Middleweight during his reign but didn't and all the people Calzaghe could've fought at SMW but didn't. I bet you'll find that they both fought the best that was available and that the big fights didn't happen because other fighters had moved weight divisions.
