WOW the OP is a moron!!! Hopkins has the best resume of anyone in the last 20-30 years!!! i did agree that he lost both fights against Taylor but i also thought he beat Calzaghe who wasnt landing **** Hopkins put on a brilliant defensive performance!!! He had one of the longest title reigns in history dominating the middleweight division and he's never been KO'd!!! OP is smokin some serious ****!!!!!!!

Floyd did not fight the level of PRIME fighters BHOP did. Floyd Did not Defend a division for over a DECADE lol. The un beaten record isnt as good as some think...Not to me.
same goes for Manny. I under stand the 3 weight classes. That alone is great if how you got it stacks up. Fighters can skate through . But NOT for 10 years.
Also OVER 40 is Insane!

Originally posted by The_Bringer View PostBroke the record of career Middleweight Title defenses, and set a new one at 20 consecutive.
Has hall mark wins over Johnson, Tito, Oscar, Winky, Tarver, and Kelly.
Tarver was the true, lineal Champion at 175 when Hopkins moved up and schooled him at the age of 41.
The only man to ever stop Glenn Johnson.
Knocked out Felix Trinidad and Oscar De La Hoya.
Schooled Kelly Pavlik and embarassed him at 170, just 4lbs north of the 166 catchweight where Kelly beat Jermain in the rematch.
Has never really been "beaten" since losing to Jones back in the early 90's.
Had a very close fight with Joe Calzaghe that a lot of people felt he won, at the age of 43.
His run in his 40's alone is the stuff of a Legend.
Nobody goes 3-1 against competition like Tarver, Winky, Calzaghe, and Kelly between the ages of 41-44. It's unheard of.
