This looks like Hopkins at his best... still young enough to be aggressive and confident of his power & stamina in the exchanges, but experienced enough to time his battles and utilize defensive savvy... I'm a Hopkins fan as you can probably tell, so thanks for posting this! :)
While Brown was obviously past his prime, this was a very good performance by Bernard Hopkins. Hopkins did what he was supposed to do and that was dominate and completely outclass Simon Brown.
That's all Hopkins did is fight smaller guys

Hopkins sure fought a lot of welterweights.

Hopkins in his prime? He started peaking in 2001

it sucks sometimes being the one that has to "retire" an old fighter but, it has to be done
