How can you lose twice to Jermain "mediocre" Taylor and still be considered P4P?

[kayjay]

It's a trick question, it can't be done.

Hopkins is between 20 and 25 p4p, and I only say that because we come from the same city.

[niceguy45]

he still has defended his title 20 times,
among active fighter his resume is sick

Because it was competitive, and you can say he was robbed in ATLEAST one of those fights. He also is the light-heavyweight champion at the age of 43, has only lost to 4 guys in a two-plus decade long career, and has wins over Glen Johnson, Winky Wright, Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Antonio Tarver, with 20 defenses at middleweight and one at light-heavyweight. That's top ten p4p.

Well, he moved up two weight classes and embarrassed someone else in the P4P rankings. Then he beat another P4P elite in Winky Wright.

Seems like a pretty good way to get yourself back into the game.

Haha lol I think everyone agree he won the 1st fight.

So, how about that bet we had. You still planning on paying?

[TonyJ]

Now if Sugar Ray Leonard makes a comeback he should be recognised as nr 1 p4p?

How can Bernard "Promoter, 1 fight a year, middle aged" hopkins be in p4p list?

saw kayjays thread so had to make mine lol

[ßringer]

Because his two losses to Taylor were very controversial decisions, that Taylor faild to win impressively. Because he's defended his Middleweight title 20 consecutive times. Because he went undefeated for 13 years. Because he moved up from Middleweight to defeat the universally recognized Light Heavyweight Champion of the World in a match where he was a heavy underdog. Because his most recent victory was over the #2 ranked fighter in the world, right behind Mayweather.

Does that about answer your question? Or do you need more?

When you fight a guy with as much an age disparity as was the case with Hopkins and Taylor, anything can happen. I can guarantee that Hopkins will never again fight a young guy like that.

I look at Hopkins as semi-retired, not active enough for my nonexistent P4P list.
