And here is why, he is the definition of a great fighter. Here is a guy who defended his title 20 times, before losing to a young hungry fighter by two narrow decisions (the first fight I think Hopkins should have received the decision) so he moves up to LHW and beats the undisputed LHW champion of the world (Tarver), and made him look silly. He then beats Winky Wright, a great fighter within in own right. That is pretty dang impressive so far. He has consistently taken on the best fighters available to him. Now the question is, if he beats Calzaghe, will Hopkins be rated as a top 20 ATG? I think he should. I mean his resume speaks for itself. Thoughts?
