I think people are taking too much away from Hopkins for the Roy Jones Jr fight not realizing that while a lot of what Roy may not be effective against guys with high outputs anymore, that he was still a wiley old fuck with a lot of tricky moves, and Bernard for a lot of it matched that trickery. It's something that most of these new guys can't replicate except maybe Andre Ward. It's totally different because of these other guys haven't learned the core principles to make them highly effective in any situation. I think its largely due to the amateur system in boxing, but also guys who are highly athletic are forgetting that it doesn't hurt to be creative and innovative. They tend to fall into the pragmatized aspect of the sport.
