Robin Reid
Mario Veit (30-0)
Jeff Lacy (21-0)
Sakio Bika
Mikkel Kessler (39-0)
Bernard Hopkins
Roy Jones Jr
Styles make fights. Hopkins at 50 would probably still beat Kelly Pavlik. I'm just saying, the Hopkins that beat Glen Johnson and Tito Trinidad is not the same guy Calzaghe faced. Prime Hopkins runs through Calzaghe easily.
but the hopkins who faced calzaghe was still a very good version do!

lost to hearns in a to close to call MD
good choice, but i said only present day boxers.
Sorry dude. He's not an All Time Great...
He retired undefeated, but that's about it. His record is almost amateurish. I don't give him much credit for beating Hopkins or Roy Jones Jr. at 40+ either. He should have fought them about ten years ago.
Someone please tell me who his biggest wins were? Lacy? Sakio ****ing Bika...?
yeah, but the fight after, hopkins did go on to wipe wash the 26 year old undefeat 160 champion of the world. and the two fights before clazaghe he had beat tarver and wright. i feel people just say hopkins was 40+ end of, but he isnt your average 44 year old, and people should look past age and look at his record!
Antonio Margarito
Sergio Martinez
Frankie Randall
Antonio Diaz
hercules Kyvelos
Sebastian Lujan
Kermit Cintron
Joshua Clottey
Kermit Cintron
Miguel Cotto
Margarito has a very underrated resume of wins, bur probaly down to the fact due to his glove scandal.
Joel Casamayor has a pretty underrated resume of wins

I don't think he's overrated but Larry Holmes rates himself too highly.
He said Ali was overrated...he's lost his mind...
lol at holmes overrating himself
vivian harrison,
zab judah
nah i guess u could judah never fulfilled all of his potential, but he wasnt a flop ''prospect''
he was a 2 weight division world champion, unifeid the 147 division. made millions out of the game and main evented numerous ppv fights!
prospect flops like bojado dont even fight for a world title.
The referee was Ruby Goldstein, a 44 year old former professional boxer. Hardly an old man.
The heat doesn't affect anyone the same way. Robinson also had a tradition of going into fights without drinking water. Certainly not a very smart move by him and one he had to pay for under those kind of conditions.
Actually watching the fight would probably reveal you why.
Maxim was forced on the defensive and could not get many punches off due to Robinson's constant movement, combinations and counter punches which made Maxim pay for every move he made, off-setting Maxim's greater weight advantage. Maxim did not expend as much energy throughout the bout although he was exhausted himself.
According to a newspaper, Robinson had went into the fight as a middleweight and came out a welterweight, he had lost over 10 lbs during the fight.
Find me a fighter who was in worse condition during a fight and didn't end up dead.
when and why did pep and langford quit?
Hey dumb ass, Hopkins did his crime in the early 80's when he was 16 years old. He did his time, turned his life around and has been one of the hardest workers in the sport every since. He hasn't drank since 1988, he lives off of a strict diet and stays in shape 365 days a year. He never gets in trouble, doesn't party, doesn't due drugs, etc.
If only more boxers were as disciplined as hopkins.
Nice Post!
an ex convict is the cleanest fighter in boxing according to you...?
i suppose kirkland is #2 on your list
just because he has been to jail, dosent make him not clean living! that was in the past! Hopkin's dosent drink, smoke or do any drugs and dosent eat junk food! thats clean living 101
Also, my vote goes for Oscar. I bet he takes 3, maybe 4 showers a day.
Dude is Zest fully clean.
:)
lol, on a side not do. oscar said in his book he does like a drink, and was once out a night before a fight i belive!
hopkins is everything but clean....he knows all the tricks and one of the dirtiest boxer of this era imo.....he's just so slick to really get caught by the ref......
nah, i dont mean inside the ring. i mean outside. that why i put clean LIVING! outside the ring, hopkins dosent drink, smoke, do any drugs or eat fast food!
just wanted to ask who is the cleanist living boxer besides hopkins!
