          Hopkins reign at middleweight is overrated.

          We all know it deep down.
          do we need to break down how many top 10 fighters each of them fought again? i'll do it i swear i'll do it don't make me do it ok i'm doing it!

          calzaghe fought 8 out of 21 title defenses against top 10 opponents. 1 of those 8 is manfredo! lol!
          hopkins fought 15 out of 20 against top 10 opponents.

          who is overrated now?

                He WAS in The Top 150...but now that his "legacy" has been torn wide open...I'd say he just cracks The Top 200...

                You have to understand that saying he is the greatest super middleweight of all time is NOT some huge achievement or extremely impressive feat...

                because super middle, in only 25 years of existence, in terms of P4P talent calling that division "Home", has established itself as THE ****tiest division in Boxing History...

                You know who was considered the best S.M.O.A.T. before Calzaghe?....Sven Ottke.




                Even now...in the spotlight with The Super 6...there's not 1 ELITE fighter in that division.

                Yes...Andre Ward, as of right now, is only a B+ fighter.

                    Hopkins didn't even have 20, for one. Why do people keep counting a NC as a successful title defense?

                      LOL WOW Hopkins Reign at Middleweight wasn't great but it was very good. It showed him being consistent with his opponents.

                      I mean just Hopkins having and Undefeated Trinidad on his resume ****s on Calzaghes wins over Lacy or Kessler. Plus Hopkins was the Undisputed Middleweight champ for years!

                      And Hopkins Whooped a prime undefeated Johnson. The same Johnson Calzaghe ducked.

                      Calzaghe title reign is a joke. Hopkins title reign is better then average.
