If Hopkins beats Pascal, Dawson and Bute where does that place him p4p?

Truthfully, he wouldn't be in the top 10. He'd retire if he was smart.
However, if he did decide to stick around, he'd be no lower than number 4 on my list. Think about it.
He'd have beaten 3 of the 20 best fighters in the world consecutively. Alone, he'd have taken out 1/7 of the top 20. That's impressive.
He'd have beaten Chad Dawson, who is quite his junior and would have corrected the decision with Pascal and broken the undefeated streak or Lucian Bute.
Not to mention, he'd be a newly crowned 175 pound champion. With his resume already, he's still highly-rated. Add this and there are few that could rank higher. Their edge over Hopkins would be logevity from this point on.

I think he could beat all those guys, we've seen what he can do to Pascal already, stylistically Dawson maybe a problem but Hopkins could still win, Bute I think is overrated and B-Hop would take away that uppercut and win. IF he did all that he would go down as the best 40+ fighter by an absolute mile, very big IF though.

Those would be very good wins. At this stage in his career, beating those opponents would be big wins and a nice way to go out. Hopkins has already sealed his legacy as an atg, but I think these wins would definetly boost that ranking.
P4p i don't know,the atg status really beats out the p4p ranking IMO.
