I love how losers who never stepped in a ring debate me like i came in with pacquiao,no wonder your a pariah thats not wanted in the history section,you cannot argue without disrespect i find you comical,i have no want to teach you but the great a could help you loads.
he's actually one of the most respected posters in the history section
ask around
and the ghost of bernard hopkins would get his butt whipped by any solid historic LHW
hell, go a rung or two down the ladder for somebody like yaqui lopez and i think 2011 bernard gets stopped.
wins over tarver, pascal, and pavlik does not a does not a historic lhw make.
the greatness of bernards LHW rein comes from his age
the guy is in his late fourties. for even being in the ring he deserves credit.
if he was facing great LHW competition (especially in his last few fights where he has slowed drastically) he would lose.

rios would probably beat mancini
otherwise i dont think many of today's fighters can compare with the guys you've mentioned
most of them are in the hall of fame, and bonafide top 100 ATGS

You don't know my boxing experience and I don't know yours, on the internet its irrelevant, and your experience doesn't stop you from being wrong or stupid. Your losing the debate and this post stinks of procrastination. I really really really hope your not comparing yourself to the great a....smh
And yes I'm sure he could teach me a lot and it would be the same for almost everyone on this site, I know he's light years ahead of me in boxing knowledge.
Also could you back up your claim that I'm unwanted in the history section or STFU.
are you serious the dream team from 82 wold dominate todays champs sorry to say these guys for the most part are soft pre madonas who rather count money then get into a war and fight against the best in the world...
Moorer struggled with his weight that is why he went right from 175-220,not to mention from what i have heard he is quite the prick,with that said i will go back to who has beaten hopkins deciseivly Jones and thats it,and it was a fairly decent fight Hop came on late but was still beat clearly,Jones against Spinks p4p crushes him,knocks him out nd retires him like tyson did
Yeah Jones crushes a guy who is easily better than anyone he fought?
LOL its irrelevant anyway, because Michael Spinks is a lot better than anyone Hopkins beat and even worse it would be at light-heavyweight.
Struggled all i saw was a string of ko wins.not to mention he always struggled with weight so he needed to move up.your guy lost one fight and retired like a bia.
LOL what? You mean him losing while past prime, at an uncomfortable weight and coming off a layoff, Spinks wasn't a ***** and it's outright laughable for anyone to call him that, stop talking trash about a legend just because your argument is a POS.
Qawi was his best win at lhw,a very good win but your overrating him,to me his two wins over a fading Holmes at Hw trump his lhw run.
Let me guess he beats Moorer at Hw also.
Your overrating the light-heavyweight Moorer, 2 things we know about him, he only fought cans and he even stuggled against them, yet you claim he would've cleaned out the division and could beat Spinks. Funny that you haven't mentioned any of Moorers wins at light-heavyweight.
I watched every televised fight that Moorer had and if he would have stayed at lhw he would of cleaned the division out,
Yet, you didn't realise he was fighting cans and stuggling with them? Except he didn't clean out light-heavyweight and was little more than a big puncher there, and he beat no one noteworthy either, his opposition at light-heavyweight is shockingly bad.
and what did he do after his lhw run he beat the sht out of a prime Holyfiled,and your telling me Spinks would beat him,
Exactly right, Spinks would eat him for breakfast and it wouldn't be Spinks best win or near to it. Holyfield was already slipping a couple years before that fight but he was still good, winning a close decision against a bad looking Holyfield and then getting KTFO by Grandpa Foreman doesn't qualify you as being in the select group of light-heavyweights that could beat Spinks.
obviously you value your opinion more then reality.
Obviously you're on crack.
And i know a lot about the Spinks brothers Micheal was a bad man but like most history buffs you are overrating him.
LOL since when does thinking a guy who never fought even a semi decent fighter doesn't have a chance in hell against one of the greatest light0heavyweights of all time equate to Spinks being overrated. In your response you're gonna avoid most of my points and come up with some vague bull****, you don't know what the **** your talking about its as simple as that.
Only one man has really beaten Hopkins and thats Roy Jones,I think Roy Jones trashes Spinks prime for prime,but i would give Spinks the slight edge against Hop.also by most of us there is a bias towards a lot of those fighters mentioned.
Look, Hopkins is great, no doubt. But by the time he reached light heavyweight, at his age, no light heavyweight version of Bernard Hopkins is touching Michael Spinks. It's just not happening.

That doesn't mean ****, that's like saying Omar Narvaez can beat anyone because he only lost to Donaire. The best fighter Hopkins beat convincingly was Trinidad at middleweight (very good win) but that doesn't translate into him beating Spinks at LHW. I also guarantee you don't know **** about Spinks either.
All opinion just like i think Moorer or Holyfield would trash spinks at lhw
Yeah and its a ****ty opinion, Moorer didn't fight anyone in the same realm as someone fit to shine Spinks shoes, you obviously don't know what the **** your talking about, Moorer fought noone at light heavyweight, he literally fought 1 ranked fighter and he even struggled against the cans he fought.
LOL no he couldn't, Bhop would be beaten and beaten convincingly by a far better light-heavyweight and a bit better fighter.
hes got the best shot outta this eras champs
He could but it would be tough,people forget how badass Spinks was just watch some of his olympic fights
