    Keith Holmes

    Would you say Holmes was B-Hop's toughest opponent in his run as champion?

          Hopkins dominated Holmes and had him scared to throw a punch. He was never the same afterwards.

            Yes there was, but if you ask anyone here B-hop absolutely demolished Holmes.

              The reason I asked is that the scorecards were closer than in other Hopkins fights that he won by points.

                  Hopkins fought pretty cautiously and was not trying to please the crowd at all because this was the fight he had to win in order to fight Felix Trinidad. In other words, his entire career was on the line and hopkins didn't take any unnecessary chances that would jeopardize everything he worked for up to that point.

                  Anyways, he won by the scores of:
                  118-109
                  117-110
                  119-108


                  In all of his fights during that 20 title defense stretch, he almost always won every round or by KO. There really wasn't a single close scorecard all the way until he fought taylor of course.

                    You didn't miss much, I wouldn't worry too much about that fight. B-hop won clearly but it wasn't the domination some ppl make it out to be.
