Best Hopkins performance?

[boxasmash]

i think so. Pavlik is a lot bigger than Trinidad and probably better than Tarver, styles make fights but man, that was an ass whooping!

[T-97]

I would say so, the Tarver and Trinidad performances were great. But Hopkins was older here, against a bigger guy, was the underdog again, and dominated!

Against Pavlik IMO Reed still hasn't paid me on our bet though

i would have to say against tarver, then this 1. i also want to give him credit for beating glen johnson years back.
anybody agree that the was a fine win too??
johnson is a very good lhw, as good as dawson.

Probably ain't been on line, we'll get paid later or tomorrow.

Reed lost a whole lotta points!

Yea the Johnson win was impressive too, totally dominated Glen and won by TKO. A feat no one else has managed to repeat since.

Glen had been softened up by the mighty Sven Ottke.

The Pavlik win and the Trinidad win are the best IMO.

[Ryn0]

It goes in this order IMO
Pavlik (because Hopkins had all the disadvantages apart from Defence and experience and dominated)
Tarver
Trinidad
Glen Johnson
Winky Wright
William Joppy
Oscar De La Hoya
etc.

Last nights performance was a thing of beauty!

[Silencers]

I think so, he dismantled a guy who was near or in his prime, a big middleweight, who is/was ranked in the pound for pound top 10, a big puncher, the guy who was regarded as the middleweight champion of the world and he did it at 43 years of age. Great performance, Hopkins' best IMO.
