Do you think Hopkins is the Best of this decade????

[dde91]

Since B-Hop might retire for good now, how do you rate him in this decade. And after, how do you rate him ALL TIME against other greats like Hagler, Monzon, Hearns, Leonard, ETC.


To me, i feel that he is the best boxer of this past decade. Was P4P for a long time, and dominated MW divsion and had the LHW crown for a couple of years. Beat the youngsters, and was in close fights were many feels that he should have won, TAYLOR x2, calzaghe. To me it was clear he should have won Taylor 1.

So how do you rate this legendary fighter. He worked all the way to the top from nothing. Kept his body in great condition, and fought whoever challenged.

at 160, Hopkins would grind it out against Winky in my opinion prime for prime. Winky is great himself, but at 160, Hopkins is dominate. just like at 154 Winky is dominate.

Floyd and Pac are above him IMO.
I'd put Calzaghe above him too, but I always liked Calzaghe, and never liked Hopkins so that may be me biased.
4th, so no option for me to vote!

like i said i may be biased. Buts its a question about opinion and thats mine.
Theres a good arguement for it, just like theres a good arguement for Hopkins, and most people would agree that they are pretty damn close.
