    Actually I believe that Jacobs is the best win on either man's resume. To be honest DLH and Tito are better p4p fighters than Jacobs. But H2H Jacobs smokes both of them. He's just too big.

    This. Brook is a total scrub compared to Trinidad. Trinidad was former champion at 154 and a champion at 160 when he fought Hopkins.

    Brook would run circles around Joppy. That guy was the definition of a paper champ.

    Um, your post here is literally the first time in ages I've seen anyone talk about Hopkins KO'ing Trinidad, so if you are sick of hearing about it why are you bringing it up. Also, Hopkins was a 4 to 1 underdog in that fight, I know that because I won a nice stack of cash on a 1,000 dollar bet.

    Trinidad might be a nice little island but it's no middleweight.

    He may have fought at light heavy but it doesn't mean that he belonged there at that time. However as you well know he did go up to light heavy in his latter years and won titles. Hopkins was one of the cleanest boxers in the sport. There is no proof whatsoever of him using peds. Fact is that he beat Tito's ass on common ground and he beat Oscar the same way. Both fights were great for his resume and deserves to be. If the results were different, both Oscar and Tito would be basking in the glory of a significant win.

    Stop making threads about it then. I have read anything about it since 2001!

    Joppy was a three time champ at 160 and fought much better competition than Brook. Brook wouldn't claim a title at 154 or 160. He also got annailated by Spence, who is talented, but very green and beatable.

    He shrunk himself down to MW.

    He should have fought at SMW-LHW.

    Tito looked good in his few outings at MW.

    MW was a step too far for Oscar. I don't give Bernard much credit for that win.
