Bernard Hopkins
He is regarded by experts to be one of the best middleweight fighters of all time; He successfully defended the middleweight title a record twenty times and was undefeated for 12 years between 1993 and 2005
Hopkins' dominance in the middleweight division continued until 2005, when he lost the undisputed title to Jermain Taylor. However, his career was far from over. In 2006, at the age of 41, Hopkins moved up to the light heavyweight division and defeated Antonio Tarver to win the IBO and Ring titles. This victory marked the beginning of a new chapter in his career, as he became the oldest boxer to win a world championship, a record he would break multiple times. In 2011, Hopkins defeated Jean Pascal to win the WBC and lineal light heavyweight titles, once again proving his longevity and skill in the ring.
Known for his strategic and defensive style, Hopkins was a master of the fundamentals of boxing. His ability to adapt to different opponents and situations made him a formidable competitor well into his 40s. He was also known for his use of rough tactics and his ability to fight effectively on the inside, often frustrating his opponents with his clinching and counterpunching skills. Hopkins' dedication to his craft and his disciplined approach to training allowed him to compete at the highest level for an unprecedented length of time, earning him the nickname "The Executioner" early in his career, and later "The Alien" for his seemingly superhuman longevity.
In addition to his success in the ring, Hopkins became a minority partner with Golden Boy Promotions, a role he continues to hold post-retirement. His involvement in the business side of boxing has allowed him to remain a prominent figure in the sport even after hanging up his gloves. Hopkins' legacy as one of the greatest boxers of all time is cemented not only by his numerous titles and records but also by his ability to compete at an elite level well into his late 40s, a feat few athletes in any sport have achieved.
