    For me tarver he clownded on him, or of course trinidad but moving up two weight classes and destroying the guy that destroyed roy jones is his biggest for me.

    Trinidad isnt THAT impressive to me considering Trinidad was embarrsed before and after that fight and I take into consideration the weight. Now Tarver he was older coming off 2 losses where he barley put up a fight until round 7 and of course moving up in 2 weights to take on the Champion and he KD Tarver something noboddys done since Harding and he beat him silly the only man to defeat Tarver in such lopsided fashion. Johnson and Jones are 2 big name fighters from Hopkins era and those guys do have a win of Tarver but both fairly close while Hopkins made his mark on the fight and no rematch was needed.

    Segundo Mercado, not sure of the spelling. Hopkins was knocked down twice, was fighting in a foreign country and at about 10,000 feet. Not many men could overcome all that to take the victory.

    Well, it should have been a victory.

    Ummm...he might have beaten better fighters but undoubtedly Trinidad is his greatest victory.
