    Pavlik.

    A 43 year-old Hopkins was supposed to fold from Pavlik's heavy guns. Then he comes up with the ultimate game-plan and completely dominates the younger MW champion. To me that was THE feel-good fight of 2008. And it's Hopkins second best win IMO.

      I'll say Tarver because he jumped 2 weight-classes at the age of 41 to school the man at 175.

                  The ref stoppped the fight if i remember, but not because Johnson was hurt, but more because he was taking a shellacking

                    Well he was expected to be KO'd into retirement against Tarver, but instead schooled him.

                    I voted for Winky Wright though personally, since he is one of those few boxers that can school Hopkins on a good day, but was obviously schooled himself

                      Tarver, easily.

                      The Magic Man was coming off wins over Johnson and Jones and was the man at 175 and a top five pound for pounder. Hopkins leaped a division and easily outboxed him.

                      Easily his next best win.
