      But he was moving up in weight from a weight classed where he already moved up to.I believe Bernard was favored against him.

        Tarver, Wright and Pavlik are all in the same ballpark. Tarver was bigger, but he clearly wasn't all there. Wright was smaller, but a bit older and outgunned. Pavlik was younger and hungrier, but wasn't as accomplished as the other two.

            One thing is certain, nobody on that list hit him as hard as Echols did in their second fight. Later on in the fight Echols caught him with a HUGE hook/uppercut type punch that would have floored of KOed a lot of other fighters. Hopkins took it very well.

              Question is who besides Trinidad.The Johnson win is good but really at the time Glen was unaccomplished and didn't beat nobody.

                yea but he still beat johnson worst and more decisive than anyone else, alot of johnsons losses are contraversial thats how close they are and johnson was a middleweight at the time almost everyone else on the list had to come up in weight to fight bernard only johnson echols and tarver weren't comin up in weight

                  It's definitely either Pavlik or Tarver, he was an underdog in both fights and pretty much dominated both of them.

                    That's why the Tarver win is IMO opinion his best outside Trinidad.
