probably kostya

Hopkins. The fashion in which he beat Tito was career defining. He didn't lose a second of the fight.

Kostya's win over Judah was great, but he was getting lit up before the huge punch.

I wouldn't argue either one, I wold just personally pick Hopkins.

Out of those Hopkins/Trinidad. 2001 had some good fights that were better than any of those. For example Micky Ward/Emmanuel Agustus-Burton and Paulie Ayala/Bones Adams.

[Heru]

Trinidad was the only win that was on every P4P lists, but Kostya has 1 extra contender in Urkal and bonus points for him being undefeated.

In retrospect it'd be Kostya, but if this was for the end of 2001 it should be Hopkins.

[BennyST]

Tszyu. He was an underdog in both of his fights, apart from against Urkal who was the number one contender. Whilst B-Hop was an underdog, how he was an underdog is beyond me. Tito was good, but Hopkins should never have been much of an underdog, if not the favourite.

Fighter of the year, not fight of the year.

Hopkins, he won Don King's boxing tournment, revitalized the failing hearts of Americans after 9/11, and became undisputed middleweight king.
