    But a faded , war-torn , one-eyed el terible gave Marcos maidana a close fight

      Great wins
      Morales has 2 manny, Barrera
      Barrera has 3 prince, morales, morales

      I do agree though that morales has some more depth, I think the wins over junior jones, Chavez, famoso separate him abit from Barrera
      Saying that, I still think Barrera is still a better fighter and proved it h2h..
      Barrera has the better toolset to deal with Morales, sure. Morales still beat a better variety of fighter

          I've no problem ranking Hopkins over Mayweather. His achievements are insane and his resume is excellent. But so is Mayweather's.

            Close but I lean on Floyd.

            Can't go wrong either way, both ATG's and two of the best of this era.

              It's super close between Mayweather, Hopkins, and Pacquiao

                Yeah I agree.

                All three are ATG's and the best of the last era and special fighters.

                  Throw in Roy and that's your top four since Pea was prime. Rank them in any order and I'll listen.

                    No, I would rank Floyd higher.. Dude is amazing, and beat all sorts of fighters over many different divisions.. Hopkins I felt was great vs punchers like Tito pavlik, etc but he has no wins over any top level boxer.. Wide loss to jones, and beaten by Taylor, calzaghe, Dawson.. I know Hopkins was old for those, but if you look at his resume, he doesn't have any wins over a skilled boxer unless you count the winky and oscar fights but Hopkins had a clear size advantage in both..
                    Floyd from 130-140 was a boxing savant and better than Hopkins IMO
