I think both Chad Dawson and Glen Johnson beat him. Also, Lucian Bute is close to a 50/50 fight now, and Bute is still improving. Hopkins is crafty enough that if he has a good night (like he did against Pavlik) he could pull it off. He beats Froch, Taylor, Pavlik and everyone else at 160-168 right now.
Actually Calzaghe maintains to this day that Eubanks was his hardest ever fight and not the Kessler fight although Mikkel had his moments in the 5th.
yea but everybody knows 43 year old past prime B-hop made Joe struggle and gave him his hardest fight ever,and really gave Joe the first loss of his career
Stylistically and tactically BHOP gave JC his hardestt fight but Eubanks gave Joe his hardest fight physically and that is something he has always maintained after retirement.
he could have been special. With his inactivity recently, i just dont know anymore. WHen he ruled the super middle division was meh. now its the hottest in boxing. I think he would have much more trouble these days, and the inactivity is not helping
