    I'd say Antwun Echols, from those that I've seen, but I havent seen the majority of his fights before 2003. thoughts?

    Yeah, I enjoyed the Echols fights and the Trinidad fight. The Johnson fight was a good one as well.

    When hopkins was young he was a beast and just bulldozed his opponents down

    ive always wondered what happened to the light heavyweight who beat Hopkins in his very first pro fight. apparently he only fought like five more times and was knocked out in his last fight.

    still, thats quite a distintion to hold. not exactly Buster Douglas over Tyson, but a feather in the cap nonetheless.

    hopkins used to be one hell of an attacking swarmer - short, fast power shots, and in combination too.

    Actually, his fight with Andrew Council, although one sided, was a pretty fun brawl. And, the way he dismantled Joe Lipsey was damned entertaining.

    I would say against Tito and Tarver, but there are a bunch I haven't seen, like Johnson.

    I'd have to say the Echols fights, out of Hopkins fights that I have seen. Trinidad was pretty exciting, especially considering the build up and the reaction of the crowd and HBO's announcer's as they realized that Hop was handling Tito with ease.
