Who has hit Hopkins with the hardest punch?

Probably Trinidad, or Tarver.

Everybody else he seemed to avoid getting hit by entirely, or rolled away defensively to take some steam off of the shot.

He's really damn good at that.

And before anyone says Mercado in their first fight ; that fight was Hopkins first fight at altitude, it was 10,000 feet, and his mental focus wasn't there at all due to the civil war in Ecuador at the time.

Did this punch even land? I don't think it did but I can't tell by the picture?

Taylor..definitely.

****, even tho Pavlik and Froch won.....Taylor still dropped them.

Idk, who has hit Hopkins like that still picture shows of Calzaghe doing it? Yes, Calzaghe slaps with some of his punches but that look like a really hard punch. Bhop definitely has a beard even with his great defense. I think Calz and Taylor did...

Segundo Mercado has hit B-Hop the hardest.

Anyone know? This is an opinion of topic of course... We all know BHOP is very hard to hit cleanly and hard.

Taylor actually wobbled hops a few times. Nothing serious or anything but I think taylor landed more harder punches than anyone. Tarver didnt even land anything at all he landed one good punch and hops laughed tito got **** on winky didnt really land anything oscar didnt at all. Taylor was the one that touched him afew times.

Taylor definitely deserves a plug, as well.

He's not the hardest hitter in the world, but when he throws with intention, he has a bit of pop on them.

Trinidad for the (very) few left hooks he was able to land on Hopkins in their fight.

Tarver didn't land much, but he did land 1 or 2 clean shots that looked pretty hard, and he was the bigger man.

Taylor, also, as I said ; deserves a mention.

Any of those guys would get my vote.
