    How the hell can you say that Tito was dirtier than Bernard????? The only times I saw tito do some dirty tactics was when he used his elbow to break the clinch, like for example against Joppy, and when he punched Vargas in the nuts.

    Be specific, against who????? Tito was famous for his devastating left hook, Hopkins was famous for his devastating dirty tactics????? There's no comparison here.

    at 43 years old he pulls his master piece out of the bag.
    although it did not look like it he fought great against calzaghe too ,if he had a poor day calzaghe would have won by a large margin.
    so his last two fights have been good performances and it is exciting to see what happens next.

    Trinidad.

    Hopkins was the big underdog, was considered old at 36.
    Trinidad had just won a title by demolishing Joppy.
    Trinidad - Undefeated, in his absolute prime, and a genuine ATG.
    Hopkins put on a master class performance that was his coming out party and finished the job in the 12th.

    Pavlik easily! Trinidad is better than Pavlik imo, but considering the age of Pavlik, his reputation and Hopkins poor show against Calzaghe, this was simply a stunning HOF worth performance and made the boxing world sit up and take note. Is Hopkins shot? Not likely, but either way, he totally handled the next big thing at middle weight with what can only be described as "absolute ease". Masterful display

    Only someone with a penchant for 'man love' would favourite that act in front of Calzaghe being put on his arse in the first round.
