Good post...then again...you have to see Hopkins career to the full extent.

Hopkins actually is/was a knockout fighter.

Early on in his career he had loads of knockouts before the 6th round...alot of 1st rounders.

Also...he handily beat everyone that he fought...a vast majority of world champions.

Tito, Echols, Oscar, Johnson, Joppy, Echols, Taylor, Eastman, & Allen were all highly thought of before Hopkins beat them all down.

It's no wonder Hopkins has gotten a lot of flack...not only is he technical & ring savy...he's beaten down pretty much everyone's heroes.
