    B-Hop's Best Performance

    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.

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

        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

          Totally agree that was back alley fighting at it's best. If that Hopkins fought Taylor it woulda been real ugly for Jermain.

            Gotta be the Trinidad fight. The Tarver fight was very good too, but I think Hopkins just did a bit more during the Tito fight, plus the KO is always nice.

                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.

                    I agree, Tito was his best.
