Hopkins Trinidad was the most entertaining clinic of the last decade

wtf you talkin about jermain?

toney schooled jirov, jirov put up a better fight than tito and still got countered to death, theres a reason why old man river snaggle tooth declined a catchweight fight with lights out.:deal

 

I don't think too many fighters in the history of the sport have ruined/derailed as many careers has Hopkins.

Tito, Tarver, Winky, Pavlik, Taylor, Pascal??, Lipsey, Mecardo, etc.

 

9-3 seems about right, while not a shutout, it was still a schooling. And i personally thought it was more entertaining, which is what the thread is asking. Especially the 12th, Barrera putting on a serious clinic, and slams Hamed's head in the ringpost, gets a point deducted, and keeps on schooling The Prince. :deal

 

This

 

Yeah a MW who had fought at LHW beating up on a former WW who had been put down 7 times previously that I know of in lighter divisions by smaller fighters.
Truly amazing :nut

 

Mayweather v Corrales
Hopkins v Pavlik
Mayweather v Mosley

Would be my top 3.

 

I disagree.

Hopkins vs Tito was a beatdown against a P4P fighter in at his prime.

Winky vs Tito was not even that exciting, and it was against a retired Trinidad.

 

Odds mean **** all. He was at his best at 147 not 160. Roy jones beat ruiz does that make him a ****ing heavyweight fighter.

 

:deal He beat the man with a jab alone.

 

P.Williams is taller than tyson does that make him bigger than tyson. Odds mean nothing-Holyfield was something like 25/1 underdog against tyson.

 

I agree the best exhibition of boxing of this era period.

 

If we're talking total clinic?

Mayweather - Gatti was a brutal clinic.

EDIT -- Saw somebody mention the Diego fight... another good call. Especially considering I think Mayweather was the underdog in that fight. Can't remember for sure though.

 

Tito was also the favorite over Winky.

 

1-Mayweather vs Corrales
2-Mayweather vs Gatti
3-Calzaghe vs Lacy
4-Hopkins vs Pavlik
