  • Is Hopkins an ATG??

    I am not even a Hopkins fan but he defended his title a record 20 times and e oldest man ever to hold the Middleweight Championship. Ring champion in two weight classes. I know Hopkins get beat on for beating smaller fighters but the one fight he should get no credit is against Oscar. Against Tito he was the underdog and Tito power had carried over to MW after KO Joppy. He beat Tito in that fight by out boxing him but using his size. He went on to beat Winky and stopping his unbeaten run and Tarver at his second age. He gave both Calzaghe and Taylor there hardest fight at that time. Now he is going on to fight the prime middleweight champion who is 26, 17 years his junior.

    If Calzaghe is an ATG with a Resume with Kessler and Eubank and Kostya is an ATG with Judah and Mitchell. Hopkins should be an ATG

    Winky > Kessler and Judah
    Tarver >> Eubank
    Tito >> Mitchell and Lacy

        No, I think an old ex-convict who hits & holds and headbutts his way to boring wins doesn't belong there.

        Most of his biggist wins were over smaller men, natural welterweights. He started as a light heavyweight.

        He was convicted for stealing old ladies' purses. That's low.

        He's a poor sport, who couldn't be a man and acknowledge Calzaghe won their fight.

        He even pretended he was hurt from a low blow - that's poor sportsmanship too.

        And he's a racist who said he would never let a white boy beat him.

          I agree with most of this... yet still gotta give it up to BH... Id say as boring/dirty/racist as he is... he still belongs with the ATG names.

              i get your point... but I guess people are more remembered for the way they go out as to how they came into the spotlight.
