    Best win of the decade by far......Probably the biggest blowout and best showing between perspective ATGs.

    Yeah has to be the Trinidad fight. They actually had B-hop as the underdog.

    Felix Trinindad- at the time tito was the best in the world and was even the favorite against hopkins.

    Tarver. History will probably hold the Trinidad victory higher, but Hopkins at least had weight on his side that time.

    There was seemingly no reason for Hopkins to beat Tarver, it was as classic as B-Hop was fearless!

    Hopkins best victory was coming as close as he did against one of his only genuine challenges at the age of 43.

    I dont agree. Stepping up two weights to fight a bigger guy is more of a challenge.

    It's funny, 3 of Hopkins 4 best wins are guys that were smaller than him. He's praised for it meanwhile Mayweather gets bashed for fighting the #2 P4P guy. Sad really. And I'm not bashing either, it's just funny how boxing fans work sometimes.
