Bernard Hopkisn notable wins

1. Felix Trinidad - There is no question this is his top win. Trinidad was 40-0, a huge favorite, and had just destroyed William Joppy, a real full fledged middleweight titlist. Hopkins skillfully controlled this fight all the way through and knocked him out. Far and away his top win. 2. Antonio Tarver - Moving up two divisions in weight to dominate the guy who twice beat Roy Jones Jr. and beat Glen Johnson in the rematch (arguably in both fights) is pretty impressive, especially coming off two losses which made many people think that he was totally done as an elite fighter. 3. Winky Wright - Although Winky was not a 170 pounder, he looked pretty okay in the fight. Hopkins was able to get around Wright's defense better than anyone previously; this was when Wright was P4P #3. 4. Kelly Pavlik - Like Winky, Pavlik was enjoying a lot of success at middleweight when he moved up to fight Bernard Hopkins. Unlike Winky, he seemed dead at the weight. Even so, you have to take your hat off to the game plan of Bernard Hopkins to totally shut down a young kid, who throws a million punches with power. Pavlik was 34-0-0 at the time, and held two wins over Jermain Taylor, who held two wins over Hopkins to start his middleweight reign. 5. Glen Johnson - Undefeated prospect, who was likely a bit green at the time, but became a special fighter in later years. Hopkins totally shut down a man that is impossible to shut down. Very overlooked, underrated win for The Executioner. 6. Keith Holmes - Middleweight titlist who was a solid champion for a while. Not a win you want to hang your career on, but a good win that set Hopkins up for his fight against Felix Trinidad. I'll also give some honorable mention to John David Jackson, Syd Vanderpool and William Joppy. Not bad fighters. Very slick and Hopkins was able to take them out of their comfort zone.

I would rank Echols higher than his win over Wright. Wright evidently has no place above 160. fair enough, although I dont really think that much of Echols either. but I wouldnt argue with the choice.

no he doesnt it was a draw But it takes mere eyesight to see Whitaker clearly won. Does that not mean anything to you?

I agree, but what else are you going to put? Joppy or Allen? I guess Echols would be a good choice but I still have trouble putting it. I would rank Echols higher than his win over Wright. Wright evidently has no place above 160.

that is outrageous. Judges are terrible so often, and I dont see why what three crappy scorers think is something that should be set in stone. Well, at least one good thing has come from this...now I know Sven Ottke is a ring legend. official results >>>>>your opinion

so Whitaker doesnt have a win over Chavez? huh...well, that takes his legacy down a notch. a damn shame. no he doesnt it was a draw

I see Winky Wrights name coming up quite alot. People are choosing to forget that fight was at 170 pounds? I agree, but what else are you going to put? Joppy or Allen? I guess Echols would be a good choice but I still have trouble putting it.

I see Winky Wrights name coming up quite alot. People are choosing to forget that fight was at 170 pounds? No they don't forge that Wright was almost a career long 154 lb'er, but it's too good an opportunity to make their man Hopkins into something he isn't.

Who is Hopkisn? I don't think he knows, himself. He thinks he is some sort of Superman.

Pavlik Trinidad Wright Tarver DeLaHoya Johnson In no particular order 4 of them came up in weight, a lot, Johnson was green, and Tarver was coming DOWN in weight, about 35 lbs much of it muscle.In fact since that movie he has preen finished, like Jones after Ruiz. So they were all at some sort of disadvantage or other, apart from Hopkins' head and other fouls. Otherwise, they were his best wins.

seriously????? yes, seriously. OP asked for "notable" wins. Beating DLH (esp how he did it, w/ bodyshot) is notable by any standard.

Chuck Giampa official judge for Hopkins-Calzaghe saw the fight just like Lederman 116-111 This is pretty much shows what happened inside the ring. Even crooked biased judges at Hopkins's backyard thought that Calzaghe beat Hopkins. no it shows what happens inside the mind of a crappy judge. lederman had a conflict of interest as well since calzaghe-jones on hbo ppv was basically a done deal if calzaghe won. lederman had williams beating quintana and alexander beating kotelnik. no credibility. giampa scored mayweather-delahoya 8 rounds to 4 for mayweather yet this fight 9 rounds to 3 for calzaghe when they were nearly identical. one guy coming forward throwing ineffective punches and the other guy moving and landing the clean shots. that shows he is not ideologically consistent when he scores a similar fight so different. no credibility.

So, since when was Lederman an official ringside judge at that fight? Why don't you picture the official scoring instead? You bias pile of crap.

You are delusional. Whitaker won up to 8-9 rounds by a wide margin. Hopkins kissed the kanvass twice and lost early rounds, no way he beat Pascal convincingly. The fight was draw, enough crying from crybaby Hopkins and his butthurt fans. http://www.boxnews.com.ua/photos/821/BernardHopkins-Taylor-II11.jpg So, since when was Lederman an official ringside judge at that fight?
