Hopkins has to be Top 10 ATG....Seriously.

[brently1979]

As much as I'd like him to be...no lol

Knowing that you are such a B Hop fan I have a lot of respect for you saying. It shows that you are very objective, which is rare around here.

Good Stuff Ex.

Head to head I tyhink Hopkins would make Hagler look silly.

No he wouldn't, in my opinion, B-Hop would win a very close/ very competitive match. B-Hop in his prime, was a brawler, head to head...B-Hop could hold his own but I wouldn't see much sucess in going toe to toe against Hagler. B-Hop would have to box (Tito, Pavlik, Tarver) and Hagler had really good reach, 15 round stamina and very fast hand speed. It can go either way but I see B-Hop possibly edging it.

Hops is a great headbutter.

yes he is...

[BEEHOP]

Bernard is amazing. He never gets totally out classed, most of his losses are so close they could have been a win for him.

[street bully]

LOL, you gotta love the BHop fans.


You can argue it either way, but no way is it a matter of "no question".



On topic, no, he's not in the top 10.

Absolutely. No question at all Hopkins is, and will be ranked higherthan Roy Jones. Other than John Ruiz Jones really hasn't done anything spectacular. Also an out of shape James Toney beat Ruiz down a hell of a lot worse than Jones did, and did so standing infront of him, do you not think Hopkins would have been able to school that sorry excuse for a HW titlist?

I love Roy Jones, but you see what a fighter is made of once they leave their prime, and slide a bit physically. This is when we learned that Duran was agreat, that Ali was a great, that Moorer was a great. Hopkins has done some of his best work since he slid physically, since he spend countless hours putting in effort in the gym. The moment Jones slipped physically he couldn't learn anything new and proceeded to get knocked out by lower tier fighters a s a result.

Both ATGs, but Hopkins will be ranked higher when it is said and done based on the sheer impossibility of what he is doing in his mid forties.

top 10? no! maybe around top 20

[Addition]

No way is he top 10, that's just ridiculous. Top 20 maybe.
