Bernard Hopkins has to be a top 5-10 ATG

[floydjoy]

this has to be a joke, he isnt even top 60

[Pullcounter]

top 10 ATG is way too high for hops

[IMDAZED]

I mean, this resume, knocked out Glen Johnson, knocked out Felix Trinidad, knocked out Oscar De La Hoya, embarassed a prime Antonio Tarver, beat prime Winky Wright, embarassed a prime Kelly Pavlik. Lost very close fights with Slappy, RJJ, and Taylor, some believe he won the Slappy and Taylor fights. Defended the middleweight belt 20 times. Has other good wins over Allen, Joppy, Echols. Held the 4 major belts at 160 at once. Has been #1 at 160 and 175. Has been rumored at one final go around at CW or HW in search of a third division of dominance.

Let's all bow to the great Bernard Hopkins. HOF, ATG.

Ehh...what can I say? Take it you haven't been following for too long? 5-10??

DLH was a welterweight/junior middleweight, but middleweight was a bit much for him... he even struggled with Sturm. Trinidad is a legit win though, Trinidad carried his power well up to 160. The handwraps with Tito may be more significant than anything. Kelly had fought Taylor in a rematch at a catchweight in light heavyweight. Kelly only bounced up 4 pounds from his previous fight while Hopkins had to shed 5 pounds from his previous fight. Do you really think a prime 160 Hopkins struggles with the best Pavlik we've ever seen?

166 is not light heavyweight.

there has been 3 years since Hopkins fought a light heavyweight (his only one) and still for some reason he's ranked 1. LHW

[Hitman Hodgson]

I for one am glad the RJJ-B-Hop rematch never happend, their first fight is one of the most boring I've ever seen.

Still he's top 30 or 40 ATG I think and probably the top 3 middleweights of all time too., even if you beat him, he makes you look bad doing it.

LMAO @ the very notion.
