Hopkins' best 'underdog' win?

[ARENA]

B-Hop was massive underdog many times in his carrer, usually odds were totally reversed after just a few rounds.

Which one was the most important in creating ''Never bet against Hopkins'' saying?

Most popular was undefeated Trinidad, especially for an American to win big at MSG a couple of weeks after the 9/11 attacks. Best one probably moving up 15lbs to beat the LHW Ring champion Antonio Tarver. Tarver was on a tear at LHW, beating Reggie Johnson, Griffin, Harding, Jones 2x and Glen Johnson.

Tarver was probably the best in hindsight, but Pavlik was the one that the majority of people were picking to knock him out for the first time ever. Very few people, apart from some of the hardcore BHop fans, were picking Hopkins and Pavlik was a really big favourite not just to win, but to KHTFO.

There seems to have been a little revision, mostly because all the people that picked Pavlik to win by KO probably feel silly, and so most pretend that they didnt.
