    Which win do you think was more impressive? Foreman getting dominated for the entire fight till he KTFOd Moorer or Hopkins clinic?

    Who was the better opponent: Moorer or Pascal?

    Moorer better opponent but I still think Hopkins's win was more impressive.

    Foreman's win is much more impressive. BHop is on GH so his win means very little to me.

    B-Hop by far. Foreman was getting banged around, losing wide on the cards. Hopkins was in control for the majority of the rounds, aside from a couple of hairy moments where he was actually buzzed and a bit hurt. He was in total control. Both Moore and Pascal are good champs, good fighters.

    don't you think though that foreman had the harder task at his hands? moorer was more technically sound than pascal and the heavier puncher and was just coming from a good victory over holyfield. and unlike pascal, he was fighting the perfect fight against foreman.

    hopkins his performance was way better, a 46 in great shape athelte dominating a young champion, forman looked like a fat man that executed his punchers chance while dominated, i respect foreman but b-hop got this.

    Hopkins put on a better performance.

    Moorer was a much better fighter than Pascal.

    If Hopkins was fighting somebody on Moorer's level, he would have lost. Probably by stoppage at this point.

    Foreman had a significant size and power advantage over Moorer. Hopkins on the other hand was significantly slower and weaker than Pascal and really had no physical advantage other than stamina. So I say Hopkins, even though Moorer was a much better fighter than Pascal is.

    Hopkins/Pascal result was more expected. Foreman/Moorer was a huge upset.

    Foreman's KO over Moorer was quite possibly the biggest boxing upset ever, especially after he was being beaten so easily on the cards.

    Foreman's win was much more impressive to me and he ended it with a 1-2 right on the button.
