Out of all the fights Hopkins WON, who gave him his hardest fight?

Echols

 

Really? I thought he dominated Echols both times. I'd have to go with Winky.

 

I had forgotten about the Wright fight, because it was a fight I'd like to forget.

Yeah, the Wright fight was tougher than the Echols fights. The first Echols fight I thought was actually tougher for Hopkins if you're not including shoulder slams.

:huh I thought Hopkins clearly outclassed Winky and made him look amatuerish at times as Winky simply couldn't get his jab to land.

I misread the thread too but he asked out of the fights Hopkins WON. He lost to Calzaghe so it doesn't count.

 

No that was Hopkins v Calzaghe :good

 

I would say Mercado in their first fight in which BHOP came very close to losing and got put on his backside.

 

It was officially a draw though.

I thought Hopkins won by a couple pts.

 

Winky?

Is this a trick question?

 

I thought Hopkins was winning the 2nd Echols fight handily before he stopped him, but the rough nature of that fight may have made it the hardest fight he won - body slams and all. Most of his wins were rather one-sided performances, so if it's based on who was most competitive in a loss to him, it's probably Winky, who was a bit difficult to figure out at first, but didn't really give Hopkins what I would call a 'hard' fight.

 

Winky was awkward and made the fight ugly but Mercado in their first fight really roughed BHOP up and put him down a couple times. Mercado was very strong and made BHOP very uncomfortable.
