    Coming 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.

          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.
          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.

          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.
