    Is Hopkins is the best 160lbs fighter ever

    Is Hopkins is the best 160lbs fighter ever ?

    I must admit i dont know too much about Monzon except the hype that surrounds him, but i have seen quite a lot of Hagler and i think Hopkins is /was a better fighter than Marvin Hagler.

    I think Hopkins would beat Hagler too.

    I don't believe so, I rank Hagler and Monzon in front of him, he's definitely top 10 though.

              Hopkins 12-0 with 8 KOs against southpaws.

              Hagler was not very quick and had his problems with blown up Leonard and Duran and a lot of the fighters he faced were tailor made for him imo.

              Hopkins slick,quick,intelligent,counter puncher,great chin,defence.

                i would personally favour B-Hop against Halger too, but hypothetical match-ups aren't the only thing to take into consideration... "styles make fights" and all that

                  Hagler great on the inside.

                  Hopkins very saavy on the inside and probably physically stronger than Hagler.

                  better Boxer >Hopkins

                  better defence>Hopkins

                  quicker hands,feet >Hopkins

                  power> Hagler

                  Stamina> even
