Bernard Hopkins
Bernard Hopkins was middleweight champion from 1994 to 2005, successfully compiling a record 20 title defenses during that period.
He became the first male boxer to simultaneously hold world titles from all four major sanctioning bodies.
Hopkins is widely considered one of the greatest boxers of the modern era. The living legend is a highly strategic and defensive boxer. He was known for carrying good speed and power along with great counterpunching skills.
Hopkins is also a naturally seasoned fighter. He had the ability to take advantage of a wide variety of situations in the ring. He was notorious for implementing rough and dirty tactics while fighting on the inside or in a clinch.
What would make Hopkins even more dangerous in the sport of MMA goes beyond his gloriously sneaky foul tactics. He is a true thinking man’s fighter if there ever was one. Hopkins knows every single trick in the book, including many that were never published.
