Which of his wins would you consider to be really good wins, not just name wins like most people bring up. Anyone who considers DLH as a really good win is disqualified. :yep
My list- Antwun Echols Syd Vanderpool Felix Trinidad .. all good fighters at 160 that he beat clearly. Then there's.. Pavlik Tarver .. whom he dominated at higher weights. And Winky was a good one too. :good
it depends on how good pavlik would be...pavlik can be the king to 160 for 5 years and it would really be a big boost on the legacy of hopkins to have beaten pav...and if pav went on to be ATG as well, then bhop may squeeze him into the top 25 ATG... just as how morales beat the potential top 20 ATG in manny pacquiao...it did help morales gain grounds on his rival barrera in their ATG rankings..anyone who ranks barrera higher than morales this point has discredit the accomplishment of pac..
Even then the Pavlik win is still a very good win, keeping in mind that Bernard was frickin' forty five years old at the time and he absolutely outclassed him.
