Hopkins best performance [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga7C8p1FLGM[/ame] followed by Trinidad, Johnson, Tarver and Pavlik.
Tarver is a better win than Pavlik. Lets put it this way, Tarver would have knocked Pavlik out. Hops went from 160 straight to 175 and put an ass whooping on Tarver like nobody ever has in his entire career. Pavlik got whooped by a 154 pounder. Not that Hops pavlik win isnt impressive, its just that the Tarver win is better
That is really cool, I never seen any of his fights that far back. I seen the echols fights when he was far more active and aggressive. He was an entertaining fighter then. You can see from his size there he is a naturally big middleweight
i'm only stating irrefutable scientific fact though. its about time these clowns got a dose of the truth instead of being brainwashed by the smoke and mirrors of hbo and ring magazine :deal
Smoke and Mirrors. yes you are right. he really did not fight anybody. He has terrible defense and gets hit a lot.
the only decent fighters he fought at a fair weight were jones, taylor twice and calzaghe, they all kicked his ass.
RJJ won clearly but didnt win spectacular Taylor lost the first fight In many peoples opinions, and may have lost the second also. Calzaghe was a ***** who didnt want a rematch after being floored hard by Hopkins, so Calzaghe went after Shot Jones Jr, and then sub conciously felt he was gay for trying to dry hump another fellow athlete so went to dancing with the stars to remove those embarrising thoughts that popped up in his head during a professional boxing match. Also felt too scared of Froch, Pavlik and most of all BHop so he started to sniff cocaine to get his mind of things. So to be honest if you look at all of BHop's loses, never once did he get his ass kicked as you have stated. And even though he lost to Taylor and Calzaghe, that was after the old age of 40 so there is no shame in being robbed in those fights.
