Seriously....are you kidding? Who has Hop beat that is even comparable to a Liston or a Louis or a Marciano? These threads are getting beyond ****** and bordering on sheer ******ation. Get a grip already.

Felix Trinidad, DLH, Winky Wright

but i agree these threads are getting a tad ******

the marciano one was justifiable since marciano was a small HW and hopkins wouldnt have had to gain much if any weight to fight him, so his performance wouldnt be inhibited

but liston was well over 200 lbs, hop would be chubby if he went up past 200 to fight sonny

My man, Im not talking p4p, but at the particular weight they would have to fight at. Does Tarver or even Calzaghe come close to presenting the theat any of the previously mentioned fighters would?

Marciano beat Ezzard Charles twice. Anybody who knows anything of boxing history will tell you Charles was superior to Hopkins at 175 and p4p. Im not knocking Hopkins, the guy is great. But he's proven nothing to even be considered formidable to the greats that people have been trying to match him against.

Fantasy match ups are fun, but lets try to at least keep it within the realm of reality. Know what I mean?

this is where the fun ends, Liston can box well and he can hit to hard. Hopkins can't beat Liston. Even if Liston hit his arms it could get ugly.

I do give one thing. Boxers today are supposed to be far superior than those of yesterday, reason being the weights, training and techniques, tactics, etc have evolved and this is a continuation so future boxers are supposed to be better then. But in this case here how some seem to think that hopkins can or could potentially beat any of these is non-sense. these guys are legends that could fight in any generation. Now as far as Dempsey; oh well, there are some people who just can't be convinced otherwise from their point of view.
