    It was a masterful performance. And that's the fight that people really started to notice him and all his hard work paid off. So I agree.

      I would love to hear him say why the rematch with Tito never got done. That never made sense to me.

        i agree. he was a 4-1 underdog and the fight was hyped a lot with him throwing down the flag and getting into Titos head before the fight happened. And he backed up all his trash talking and put up a master performance against someone who was being looked at about #2 p4p at the time who was suppose to win and fight Roy Jones next. So yup i would say that is his biggest win to date.

            because Tito never proved himself to get a rematch. He got whooped lop sided with no dispute. He wasn't the same fighter after this fight. He only fought 4 TIMES in the next 7-8 years after the Hopkins fight. And lost to Winky Wright which would of got him in contention for a title. If he would of winky and a couple other fighters at 160 then he would of got a chance for the UNDISPUTED title holder at the time. B-Hop

              for one it was pointless after such a beating, more importantly DON KING. Bernard wanted out of that contract as quickly as possible. He ended up suing King for $1.5 million and King counter-sued for $20 million for destroying Tito's career and making him retire haha.

                Pretty sad when you consider Tito was a Welterweight. So much for Hopkins legacy. He should have been able to say "Calzaghe was my best win" but he lost.

                  It would have been Jermaine Taylor, not B-Hop.

                    Interesting when you consider Tito was a middleweight title holder when hopkins beat him, a 7-1 favorite and 40-0.
