    Thurman was undefeated and beat two of the top five welterweights. He was the top WW in the division and certainly the most proven. Hopkins beat an overrated Tarver, a blown up 154 pounder, and overrated Pavlik. PAC was the smaller, older more **** fighter and puts on a clinic at 40, not even close.
    Tarver had justed KO'ed the P4P #1 fighter in the world - and Hopkins moved up TWO weight classes to beat him.

    Sorry but Hopkins' win over Tarver is the better win..

      Plus Pac s a former flyweight and traditionally flyweight are in.prime around 28 years of age




      Actually for wins, Foreman for me would be biggest, for best performance I would go with B-Hops performances over Tarver and Pavlik. For me Pacquiao is a close 2nd though. But just my opinion just like y'all have your opinions.


      Edit:
      (If Pacquiao beats Spence or Crawford, I would rank him as best performance)

      Again just my opinion, just like others have their opinions.

        I consider the Tarver fight to be Hopkins best career win. But Tarver had to lose 40 pounds for that fight and already had three losses. It was almost nine months since his win over Jones. Thurman was undefeated.

          Thurman was undefeated, coming off of a two year layoff, surgery and looked like refried **** in his previous fight.

          Hopkins, OTOH, at the age of 41[?] went up TWO weight classes and beat the #1 LHW who was top 5 P4P and had just KO'ed the P4P #1 guy in two rounds. And NOBODY was picking Hopkins to win.

          Sorry dude but Hopkins' win over Tarver outclasses Pacquiao's win over Thurman by a mile - EASILY...
