    Bigger Win: Vitali or Hopkins

    Vitali- comes back after to boxing after 3 years( i think it was 3) and beats the 2 best heavyweight......dominates actually

    hopkins- 43 year old Legend turns the clock back.... humiliates and gives a middleweight a boxing lesson

        Although I think Kelly is more skilled than Peter Id say Vitalis domination win was more impressive since he was off for so long and Peter was the HW champ.

          This was a good poll question because you could make a case for either one.

            Klitschko's domination surprised me much more than Hopkins, I thought the possibility of Hopkins winning in impressive fashion, although I didn't think it would be so one sided, was a distinct one so Klitschko's was better IMO.

            Edit: Although Pavlik is the better fighter.

              I think Vitali's win was more impressive because he was coming off a 4 year layoff and he completely dominated and TKO'd the WBC champion Peter in 8 rounds.

              8th round TKO >>> 12 round wide UD

                Hopkins. He's nearly 44 years old and had a much better opponent to deal with. Especially since Peter hasn't looked good since his second win over James Toney. Pavlik was unbeaten and considered one of the best at any weight and was favored. Not a hard choice for me.

                  Hopkins because it was a better quality win, but personally I was more shocked by Vitali's performance then I was Hopkins.

                    Did anybody think Sam Peter was truly a great fighter?
                    This may be the single best win of Hopkins career. For Vitali, his Sam Peter win does not even come close to being his best.
