    Sugar Ray Robinson (GOAT)
    Henry Armstrong (3 division titles at the same time)
    Muhammad Ali (Greatest Resume in history)
    Willie Pep (241-11)
    Joe Louis (Most dominate HW in history)
    George Foreman (hardest hitter, stacked resume)
    Archie Moore (fought into his late 40's, longest reining LHW, most ko's)
    Roberto Duran (greatest LW in history, going 75-1 in prime)
    Sugar Ray Leonard (Stacked resume, only lost once in his prime)
    Harry Greb (was koing HW's, only man to beat gene tunny)
    Marvin Hagler (Very stacked resume, great accomplishments.)

    these are just some fighters that rank higher then Bhop,
    due to there accomplishments, resume, exc.

    im a huge bhop fan to, i think he deffinatly ranks in
    the top 30

      Hmm since when did those guys weigh 147 pounds...

      And Hopkins beat them past his prime...lol...while in his mid forties.

      And gave Calzaghe all he could handle...

          The past 20 years Hop has done more than Pac, Roy and Floyd

          Floyd and Pac have arguably done more this decade

          Roy done more in the 90's but Hop's longevity and consistency is unparalleled

          Unless Pac or Floyd can clean out 147, Hop is the best of the past 20 years

            Bernard's resume doesn't hold up to those guys I mentioned...it just doesn't.

              Joe Louis
              Roy Jones Jr.
              Joe Frazier

              That's 10 ahead of Hopkins for me, and there's more I would put as well. The guy has been a tough, crafty veteran who deserves credit for the incredible career he has had, but most his best wins are over smaller guys he was able to fight incredibly dirty against.

              Roy Jone based on resume alone isnt a Top 10 ATG...


              Hopkins has had the better career.....

                    If a fighter wants to move up and challenge themselves dont blame Hopkins for waxing.

                    Hopkins moved up to remember and beat the **** out of the 175 Champion.
                    I don't blame Hopkins for it but I just can't rate De La Hoya as a legit win at 160. He struggled with Sturm who isn't all too good and actually gave Hopkins some problems until succumbing to Hopkins' strength and size.

                    Trinidad was a great win.

                    Beating Tarver is impressive but I've never seen Tarver as that great. Pavlik is another good fighter but hardly great.

                      Don't get me wrong though, Prime Roy was a better fighter than Hop and i think Prime Floyd was a better fighter than Hop but Hop is definitely greater than both
