    mayweather , pacquiao , jones , etc. has accomplished way more.

    hopkins' resume is barely above calzaghe's.

    a bunch of unimpressive defenses for a long time in a crap division.

    only difference is joe has a few wins over very old , great fighters while hopkins has a few wins over great fighters much smaller than him.

        I give him props for the 20 title defenses.....not just anyone can do something like that. You never know when one of those bums has your number.

        You're right though, him and Calzaghe aren't much different.

          ....and that is where I will stop reading and your opinion becomes invalid.

          He'll be an ATG, but no where near top 10.

            calzaghe made 20 something defenses too at 168.

            hopkins is a great and maybe lower end atg.

            he is extremely overrated though.

              I know what Calzaghe did, and like I said...its not just anyone that can do **** like that.

              Yes Hopkins is overrated.

                  He beat Hopkins, and rapped Roy Jones. Name me some boxers in the history of the sport with the same amount of title defenses, if not more than Calzaghe??

                  I'm not even a Calzaghe fan, but I give him props for some of the ****.

                    I can name 20 in no particular order, and there are probably 5 or 10 more. Nard is great, but there have been plenty of fighters who have had better careers. This is no slight to Hopkins, only the truth.

                      Hopkins is an ATG, no doubt about it. Not Top 10 though.
