    Middle Trinidad and the Tyson Holy beat are pretty comparable.

    Nothing great about either by that time.except power and hype i guess.

    I don’t think that Trinidad’s scalp is comparable to Tyson’s.

    The fights that made me really wake up to how great Hopkins was were:

    His win over Antonio Tarver.

    His fights with Jean Pascal.

    Those were moments when I knew I was living in the time of an incredible fighter.

    Pascal was the lineal champion, and had just beaten the guy that many people thought would dominate the era!

    I honestly don’t care how bad Hopkins looked beating him at that age!

    Hopkins is the dirtiest nastiest cheating piece of **** alive

    And joe calzaghe exposed that ass perfectly

    But, his longevity (against midgets and bums) has been good

    Evan fields is a led user and head butting cheat

    But his achievements at cruiser weight are goat worthy in that class

    Bhop isn't the best in his class

    Evan fields for me
