    Bernard Hopkins has never fought a bigger man

    Bernard Hopkins has never fought a bigger man than himself. He's mostly gone after smaller men (Trinidad, De La Hoya, Wright) or a few the same size (Tarver).

    His recent opponents - Pavlik, Calzaghe, and Wright - were all moving up from smaller weight divisions.

    Roy Jones defeated John Ruiz at heavyweight. Why has Hopkins always picked on little guys?

            Lmfao. Instant destruction.

            On topic: Tarver is bigger than Hopkins.

            It's true Hopkins has faught a lot of people who moved up and were smaller (Calzaghe is a pretty similar size though).

            To be fair to him I don't really think it matters, he is just too good.

              Tarver was weight drained and probably past his best anyway but he was not smaller than Hopkins

                Weight-drained my a**. Tarver couldn't beat Hops if he had six months to prepare. But yes, he def was not smaller than Hops.

                    at the time hopkins beat tito, 168 was an absolute wasteland. i mean u had ****ing ottke getting gifts left and right. nuff said.

                    160 was cleaned out.

                    and the only fight at 175 was roy jones jtr.

                    the truth is..most of the tough opposition for BHOP wouldve been at 154.
