Great to see Bernard Hopkins go out on top. He was one of the greatest technical fighters of all time. I wish he had been a contemporary of Hagler, Hearns, Leonard, Duran, and Barkley. That would have made for even more great fights in that era.

The only boxer that I have enjoyed watching over the last 15 years is Chris Byrd, and he was stuck in between weight classes for all practical purposes, so his career has been somewhat limited, but he was a brilliant technician.
