    Quick question, what do most people consider to be Bernards best victory?
    Trinidad?
    Pavlik?

    and if it is pavlik or at least debated that it could be - then in no way does it make sense to be-little calzaghe's victory over an old man - infact this old man was about to enter his prime!!! and calzaghe was about to retire: i know this is OLD OLD ground but it angers me to see Joe run down somuch in threads regarding status when he had this CLEAR win over Nard

    its Tito

    and any way you hash it, Calzaghe won a SD in a fight he was a 3/1 favorite in.

    It has to be Tito, Pavlik hasnt achieved anything at LHW, while Tito had a belt he won in a very dominat fashion.

    Hopkins' best win was definetly Tito...

    Trinidad was in his prime, unbeaten, proven at the weight. Hopkins becomes the first man to beat him, first man to stop him, and looked fantastic doing so.

    Pavlik was 18 years young than B-hop. Undefeated. And Hopkins won every minute of every round - also a great win, despite the weight disparity.

    Definitely Tito, he looked absolutely unstoppable at the time, and was looking like he wouldnt end his conquest of divisions till he'd ko'd Lewis to win the heavyweight title lol

    It also made a star out of Bernard overnight.

    Trinidad is the obvious choice but Tarver deserves a mention as well.

    Tito, but we'll see how Pavlik does now. If he goes on to have a great career, then it may surpass the Tito win. Of course, all the KP fans know he had AIDS and blew up 100lbs that night.

    Tarver or Oscar. I know that Tito is the cool answer but Tito looked so smaller that night.

    Definitely Tito for me. He was an unbeaten 3-weight world champion who was on a tremendous run. You can say Tito wasn't a natural middleweight but that didn't stop him crucifying Joppy in his 160 debut. Plus, weight aside, Tito was simply a better fighter than Pavlik.
