Who ranks higher as an ATG Pernell Whitaker or Bernard Hopkins? I personally think that Whitaker and Hopkins are the greatest fighters since the Leonard and Duran days.
Whitaker beat a guy you could argue is top 20-25 (JCC) another guy you could argue is top 50-60 (Nelson). His other wins rival Hopkins' run at Middleweight. Beating Vasquez at 154, beating Mayweather coming up. McGirt at WW.
His close loss against Oscar is much more impressive than any of Hopkins' close losses (Taylor, Calzaghe) He beat the best two guys he ever faced and Hopkins didn't. That could end the argument right there...
Sweet Pea has the better resume, Hopkins has the better accomplishments. I can't really see how some one can say Sweet Pea by landslide, or Hopkins my a country mile, other than to look like a know it all historian and impress some one.
In this thread, Hopkins sounds like he's some kind of bum who has done nothing :lol1:
green!!!!! :fing02:
20 defenzes bro! he beat everyone ever at middleweight! Whitaker crackhead!!
You really can't make these polls before at least a month has passed after a current fighter has fought. People just ride the wave of whatever just happened.
:lol1: :lol1:
Wow. Just wow.

This poll is a joke to say the least. How Hopkins has even 10 votes is a mystery.
:lol1: @ the Johnny Comelately fans.
And, Tito is the GOAT :headbang:
These votes are embarrassing. SMH.

^^This retard shouldn't be ranking fighters...
;10623578']Oh my god, I just completely skipped to your second post because of how stupid it was, then I looked at this and make me sick to my stomach. You didn't watch boxing in the 90s. If you did you'd know Trinidad leading up to the Hopkins fight was NOT ONLY BIGGER, THE FAVORITE, AND ONE OF THE TOP 2 P4P FIGHTERS IN THE DAMN SPORT BUT TO SAY TRINIDAD WASN'T GREAT......I'm mad. I'm gonna go watch TV.
The self-proclaimed biggest nuthugger of Tito on this site would agree with me that hes a borderline great, but then again its a subject of definition. All things relative, its absolutely retarded to think Trinindad is greater than Chavez.
Surely someone isn't using their respective fights with Trinidad as a decision maker. Prime Hopkins vs a Trinidad 2 weight classes above his best weight (and towards the end of his career) is hardly comparable to a Prime Trinidad at his best weight vs a significantly past prime Whitaker 2 weight classes above what I think was his most effective weight.
Beating a legitimate great and p4p number one in their prime is greaterthan beating a borderline great.

;10623540']DID YOU SEE THE FIGHT? Most people who say this are people who've never even seen the damn fight. I still remember to this day Trinidad winning ATLEAST 9-3 Pernell had one or two good rounds, that was about it. Get the f*ck out of here man. Go watch the f*cking fight then come talk to me.
No I say its reaching that you mention the fight I know that it was a decisive victory for Tito.
I love how you cut out the bottom of my comment.
Now thats plain reaching.
Aren't you the same clown that had a top 5 all-time southpaw list with Michael Moorer and no Manny Pacquiao?
