2 signature wins against smaller men...........
a drained tarver coming down from hw............
jean pascal twice (we know what the first fight was)............come on be serious lol

Surely you're trolling?
Tarver wasn't coming down anything, he was coming off the best wins of his career over Johnson & Jones. Didn't B-Hop go up to fight him?
Defended against the undefeated Lipsey - retired him, Johnson was was undefeated, first & only guy to ever stop him even until this day! Beat Echols with 1 arm, Keith Jones, Trinidad, Joppy, Eastman, Oscar, robbed vs Taylor twice!
Errr...Pascal twice (1 was a draw, though he clearly won). Absolutely destroyed Pavlik. Who have I forgotten?
Longest reign as a middleweight world champion, most defense, oldest ever world champion. Two weight world champion.
Guys an ATG and in the Top 20-30 of all time.Actually you are wrong....he came down like 40lbs for the Rocky Movie....

You know whats funny about your mentality? You can apply it to anyone, watch this...Ali...who did he REALLY beat?
Foreman.. c'mon dude Foreman was one dimensional and drank some funny water before the fight.
Frazier...dude Frazier was way past it. When they fought in their primes, Frazier won.
Sonny Liston...get real man, Liston was a bum. Even more one dimensional than Foreman. The mafia probably fixed all his fights.
Floyd Patterson.....way past it.
etc.
Who did this guy beat?
Its called spinning a fighters every accomplishment in a negative light.
The difference is that these guys you mentioned are supposedly the best fighters of that era.....
Hopkins best wins are vs Men moving up in weight.....Tito, DLH, WINKY, PAVLIK...

Every FOOL knows Tarver had to go down from 218 to 175 in like a couple or three months. Don't play dumb. If you like Bernard, don't ignore the facts.Surely you're trolling?

See, so many of you are now realising what I realised long ago...better late than never. The man is a hyped up product of HBO, a homegrown fake greatness.

So when Hopkins moved up two weight classes to fight Tarver at 175, it's nothing. He was this big Middleweight anyway, and Tarver was drained making 175.
But when Pavlik moved up two weight classes to 170, it's a problem? A 6'2 guy with a bigger frame than Hopkins ever had at 160. No consideration that Hopkins had to lose an extra 5 pounds, to get to 170.
All this smaller man, bigger man talk is starting to sound ******ed.Comment

hopkins was a shrunk down lightheavyweight fighting at middle anyways, so him moving from middle to 175 to beat a tarver who was hanging out on movie sets with stallone is no revelation...ain't so much that he's always fighting smaller men, but the height, reach, and strength advantages always makes sure he has going in make for unfair
