    Bernard Hopkins' most exciting fight?

    I'd say Pascal 1, then Trinidad

    If by exciting you mean schoolings in which B-Hop picks his opponents apart piece by piece there are plenty to pick from. Been checking out a few of his fights from his younger years and so far I like the Joe Lipsey fight and Antwon Echols 1 fights. Lipsey was 25-0 with 20 KO's going into the fight and after Hopkins KO's him in the 4th and the guy never fought again. Echols put up a good fight but Hopkins got into him toward the later rounds and won a decision.

    Mangler411 posted quite a few of Hopkins older fights on youtube that I still need to check out. You aught to check them out too.

        For me it's the glen Johnson fight he beat his ass from one side of the ring to the next.

          The finishes in both Taylor fights were edge of the seat stuff.

          I really enjoyed the Tarver fight and the dismantling of Kelly Pavlik, he looked like Sugar Ray Leonard that night.

            What a foulfest. Punches to the back of the head, bodyslams, hitting on the break, even the ref knocked Hopkins down by accident. This was the first fight I ever saw of Hopkins. I remember because it happened a day before the Vargas vs. Trinidad fight. HBO Boxing After Dark on a Friday? When is the last time that happened?

                I agree with the 2nd Echols fight as his best fight, most of his other fights where Fat girl in a thong ugly

                  I think the Echols fights are awesome.
