Personally speaking I think that at the time, it was a great victory for Bhop, but I think his most impressive win is going to be Antonio Tarver. Not saying that Tarver is a better fighter then TRinidad, but hes a guy who came off beating RJJR 2 times, and Glen Johnson...Hopkins moved up 15 lb.s to fight Tarver and ABSOLUTELY DOMINATED him in his own Weight Class. Where as TRinidad was the one moving up in weight to take on a guy who had held that thrown for years prior.
I think Trinidad's mistake was that by moving up in weight, he was able to do things that normally he couldnt due to the fact that he was trying to make 147 or 154. So Maybe he tanked it a bit in training, IMO of course. But the man was a man beats @ 147 and will be regarded as one of the best the WW division has ever seen......Comment

Taylor has actually fought and beat elite fighters so yes.
It's way too early to say whether Bute and Froch are going to be a top level guy. At least Bute is fighting someone with a pulse in his next fight.
Miranda, Lacy, and Green....you're reaching.
You guys need to get off this American bull****. He needs to fight an elite level fighter regardless of nationality. Unfortunately, his division is crap, and all of these guys (Pavlik, Abraham, Dawson, Tarver, and Johnson) are fighting in other weight classes.Comment

Totally agree with you on this, its not that he needs to fight a American fighter, he could easily get a good marketbale fight in Las Vegas, on American turf and be regarded by all fans and panels, but this is simply going to involve moving up to 175. Bar none. I think that a Taylor fight isn't going to soo much put his name on the map. Yes it will do good for him, but the man has only one move and thats to move up if he wants to truly become a star in this sport. And I think he would get a lot of big names willing to fight him if he does move up in weight. I think that a fight with Dawson, and or Johnson would be a true war. and a great fight. This would get his name seriously out there and win lose or draw, if he stayed in there and fought a solid fight, he would be given markee names in every one of his next fights hands down!!Comment

Thats y under the circumstances I feel Tarver was his biggest win, moving up 15 lbs and not knowing what to expect from Hopkins. He was taking on the best fighter in the division who had probably the best wins in the sport the last 2 years prior to there fight....
Whos his biggest win in your opinion?!?!Comment
