Watching BHOP on ESPN, he said his best career win was Trinidad. Agree?

    Johnson wasn't in the Top 10 at that point I know that much.

    I don't care what Oscar had, he didn't win the fight against Sturm and he is useless at 160.

    Pavlik's a good win but it's not great, I would say Hearns' win over Virgil Hill is certinaly better.
    You honestly think Hearns legacy is greater then B-Hops? i think Hearns legacy is great but gets a little stump for getting Knocked out 3 times.

    and Pavliks win is better then Virgil Hill. Considering the HYPE Pavlik had at the time. Pavlik was already a semi top star looking to get on that world star scene til Hopkins beat the **** out of him easily. He isn't the same confident fighter he once was. and the Oscar is a HOFer on the Resume. Because most people look for HOFers. So he is a HOFer so the credit is something on the resume. Wasn't like De La Hoya was shot

      No, Pavlik was his best win. Because it was someone who was actually his size.

            Tarver could arguably be his best win, Pascal? Ehehe no....

            Pascal is just another Taylor.

                Trinidad was huge and really began the decline of Felix's career. Mind you, there were a fair amount of headbutts thrown by Hopkins in that fight.

                I've always like the Oscar knockout myself.

                  He was better than oscar in every way. by the 5th round it was target practice, and it was really rare or B-Hop to miss.

                    It's revealing that his best win is Tito...


                    Again:


                    Why not Calzaghe?
                    you KEEP saying why not Calzaghe like he's greater than Tito...if the judges had got it right and gave the decision to B.Hop it wouldn't change ****...Tito would STILL be his best win...Tito is far greater than Joe...live with it!!!!

                      Looking back at it now i was thinking Hill lost every big mega fight he was in Hearns, Jones, Michaelwdkafdsif lol idk how to spell his name. Pavlik has two loses to Hopkins (before the fight Pavlik had Most fan on the bandwagon thinking he was going to end Hopkins career) and Martinez. But if you consider Hill has way more title defenses, i guess the Hill win is Better then Pavlik. But Considering Hopkins is in his 40's taking on fighters that are close to 20 years young, i think Pavlik was like 15-16 years younger then him. Hopkins IMO ruined Pavliks career at the moment. and Hearns didn't dominate Hill like Hopkins did Pavlik.
