    Hopkins - 43
    Vitali - 37

    Hopkins is much older. Heavyweights normally last quite a bit longer than middleweights, too. I don't think people realize how ridiculous it is for Hopkins to be doing what he's doing at his age.

    Hopkins - Fought Pavlik
    Vitali - Fought Peter

    Pavlik coming off of huge impressive victories and P4P top 10. Peter is basically a bum that likes clubbing people in the back of the head en route to ugly decisions.

    I think Hopkins was by far more surprising and impressive. I knew Vitali would beat the crap out of that unskilled punching bag.

      Hopkins definitely. It shouldn't even need any explaining.

            Hopkins. He was a massive underdog, he's coming up to 44, destroyed America's boxing white hope, and it was an interesting fight, unlike Vitali-Peter where you have this giant robot bullying a fat bloke. I don't care if he'd had a long rest, he'd been in the gym working on it every day without fail.

            So let's get real. Hopkins has the more impressive victory by miles.

            Look back in 10 years and see which fight you'd rather watch. Hopkins produced a classic. Possibly not quite as entertaining as the Calzaghe-Lacy beating, but up there with the best boxing clinics ever witnessed.

              Unless you are an idiot and a complete racist (Tunney) than Hopkin's win was more impressive. He is much older than Vitali and was coming into a fight where he was a 4-1 underdog. Vitali was favored to win and he was fighting a guy much shorter than himself who outweighed him too. Sam Peter didn't train for the fight. Kelly Pavlik a much better boxer than Sam Peter. Hopkin's had the more impressive win.

              Both are great wins though, but obviously the boxing world was shook up by the display Hopkins put on.

                i cant believe there are 16 people who voted against hopkins on this...

                its easily bigger than vitali's win...

                come on guys...

                this is boxingscene...not the klitschko ****wagon...be serious...yeah the vitali fight provided more entertainment you can argue...but given the circumstances of the pavlik v. hopkins fight it was easily the bigger win.

                  Vitali suprised me the way he handled Peter so I'd give it to Vitali......I expected Hopkins to make this look easy, but I didn't expect Vitali to walk through Peter after 4 calendars away from the game without tasting some real leather.....Hopkins was too good for Pavlik, but Vitali made Peter look like he was over-matched!

                    hopkins easily

                    vitali's victory was impressive yes, but come on, no one really rated sam as an elite p4p fighter

                    pavlik on the otherhand was top 5 p4p, best MW in the world, and highly rated
