B-Hop's Best Performance

well to me his best EXECUTION (tho it was by decision)... was probly against William Joppy, he wanted to take joppy out of there so bad becuz of their little wager....Bernard was one dangerous boxer that night, used every rough-housing tactic in the book and instead made joppy's face look like he had an allergic reaction to B-hop hahaa...matter of fact, I believe that was Hopkins best in-fighting he's ever displayed...Hatton could learn a few tricks from the old man with all that clinch n punch he does..

i wanna say Johnson but Tito fight was great also...

his best performance was against Trinidad :boxing:

tito tarver johnson echols eastman de la hoya (jus cuz of that perfect liver shot that looked like a tap...)

Trinidad and Johnson. Tarver is his 2nd best win though behind Tito.

you guys forgot the most important fight where hopkins truly showed he was top caliber. Hopkins-Eastman

Trinidad was his last great performance IMO, but the Echols fight was prime Hopkins. It was an awesome offensive and defensive performance. I'd agree in a way.......Hopkins best complete showing was against Trinidad. He was excellent offensively against Johnson and Echols........definitely not as fine tuned as he was in the Trinidad fight. Nard's tendencies to fight dirty have always surfaced themselves. I've maintained though.......and especially when he fought Holmes and most recently Winky that his opponent should retaliate. If they're going to let him make them his bitch by throwing combinations on their nut sack or football tackling them with the head.........they might deserve to lose the fight. I'm not advocating breaking the rules, but the rules get broken and everyone should know he's dirty,and will break the rules. It's obvious he fights like it's a matter of life and death survival in the ring. He always has and he's always been the most alert of anyone. I really can't remember a time when he lapsed in a fight except for against Mercado when he got caught and floored.

Beating down Trinidad for sure.

What is bernard Hopkins's best fight where he showed his true skills and power. His best porformence in my opinion has to be against Tito Trinidad. He looked superb that night unbelivable. what do you guys say? Trinidad was his last great performance IMO, but the Echols fight was prime Hopkins. It was an awesome offensive and defensive performance.

as far as performance i think it has to be the glen johnson fight. hopkins did everything in the johnson fight. threw every kind of punch from every angle. he boxed, he swarmed, he fought on the front foot, he fought off the backfoot, inside, outside, everything. it was a masterclass against a game and very tough opponent in a young glen johnson. to me it was hopkins at his best, as his style during that bout was halfway between the roberto duran-esque hopkins of the early-mid '90s and the crafty hopkins of the 2000's. it was like the two distinct career versions of hopkins that we know of fighting at the same moment. feints, counters, and ring movement coupled with high volume power punching and stalking. the entire fight is on youtube btw. Yeah it was fucking awesome. I don't buy the overrated talk, he's one of the greatest fighters of all time. And when I state that I don't mean he'd top a list or something...........that's ridiculous. Top 50 I'd say 20 maybe 30 but open for debate. All I know is he's accomplished a whole bunch.

I'd say either Johnson or Echols. Man he totally roughed up Keith Holmes though. The fight was ugly, but Nard landed over 100 low blows for sure. Especially ones that weren't called like on the legs and hips. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

Tarver or Trinidad for sure.

glen johnson - he killed him.. he wore him down from the get.. every punch in the arsenal.. amazing autwin? echols - sick fight.. fun to watch..QUOTE] Totally agree that was back alley fighting at it's best. If that Hopkins fought Taylor it woulda been real ugly for Jermain.

What is bernard Hopkins's best fight where he showed his true skills and power. Trinidad what do you guys say? Yeah I agree with you, as soon as he appeared for his ring walk, he just had that undeniable atmosphere about him - you knew there was no way he was going to lose. It was his

You have to put Tarver up there. It was an incredible perfomance.
