[mathed]

If i'm going off you're list then id go with;

Hopkins
Mayweather
Pacman
Calzaghe

Hopkins is definitely number 1: he beat who he beat including a guy like 20 yrs his junior, he did not retire, he is a commentator, and a freakin CEO (partner) in a very successful promo company, best ring resume

Mayweather belongs at the bottom. He is probably the most skilled of the bunch, but his character is bunk, he retires every other year, and uses money as an excuse for not fighting people, worst resume

Pacquiao is numero dos aqui (2): He has moved up in weight to claim various titles, had numerous epic battles, is a stand-up guy, second most talented guy behind Mayweather (not far behind, Mayweather's defense is better), has never been associated with any talk of ducking people, and is still active, second best resume

Calzaghe is 3: He has the longest title reign....period, never lost even one fight (not counting amateurs), probably the third most talented, is by far the best out of the bunch at ring smarts (his plan comes to life in the ring), he has his own promo company, he always did what he said he would do, third best resume (he blew hopkins out of the water, BHOP was making low-blow excuses right and left to buy time)

Too many Joe haters out there, his style is unique and it works

If BHOP adamek doesnt push thru it could have been a great icing in the cake for BHOP stellar career, If mayweather doesnt come back he wont be in the mix anymore, If pac gets the 4th lineal title he could have a good case. Its between BHOP and PAC.

If BHOP hypothetically wins against adamek and IF PAC collects a 5th lineal title via cotto or Mosley, im gonna go with PAC.

I'm not going to break down and tear apart your choices, but why do you have Morales on there, and Barrera is nowhere to be found? He bested Morales in their trilogy, and retired Hamed.

And Pavlik and Cotto? Really? Fighter of the Decade nods?

My vote goes to Hopkins.

- 10 defenses of his Middleweight title in the 2000's
- Hallmark wins over Tito and Oscar
- Resurrected his career after the two narrow losses to Jermain Taylor
- Went on a 3-1 streak in his 40's against the likes of Tarver, Wright, Calzaghe, and Pavlik
- Jumped 2 weight classes to capture the Light Heavyweight title at the age of 41
- Still active, and #3 P4P at the age of 44
