wtf are you talkin bout? When did I said that? You don't have to agree with me bout the Taylor-Nard fight, but don't be making **** like that...I don't give a **** if you think that my opinion amounts to "horse-dung"...cuz it's MY OPINION..Originally posted by SlipxComing from the guy that thinks Tito Trinidad's skill level is there with Ali's, I believe the opinion you present here (and any opinion in general from you) amounts to horse-dung.Comment

Were talking about P4P best fighter not the biggest undefeated record, thats like saying Sven Ottke was a great world champion because he retired unfefeated, when everyone knows he ducked the named fighters.Originally posted by Bozo_no_noCome on.
That's a completley one sided way of looking at it.
Lets see Mayweather, Tszyu, Morales go undefeated for 11 years, and then at 40 fight a solid guy like Eastman. Not saying they won't, but they haven't yet. Hopkins has. Bottom line is that (like many middleweight greats before him) he's opted to set a record of defenses at middleweight. He specializing in winning, and hasn't lost in over a decade.
If Hopkins was fighting anywhere between feather and light welter there's no way he'd have stacked up an undefeated record like that.
I'm not saying Hopkins wasnt a good fighter but he's definitely not the P4P best fighter anymore. If any of the fighters i mentioned(and a few more) fought Hopkins now and they both weighed the same i'd pick them to win pretty easily, which means IMO Hopkins isnt the best P4P anymore.Comment
