The best fighters Hopkins has ever faced are: Calzaghe, Taylor,
WHAT!! Are you serious...Calzaghe??? Do me a favour, and besides he never lost that fight anyway imo, Calzaghe landed nothing all night and ended up looking like he'd been mugged in a side alley, not to mention his Dad pleading and begging with him in the corner at the end of the 11th that he needed a knock out.
Where did Toney start at? where did Mayweather start? hmm seems like they all moved up i weight and had no probs...jus sayen most its not a big deal i'm not a pro i'm an amatuer so i walk round at weight i fight but i know lots of pro's jus texted my coach and he said hell dont mean **** for him to fluctuate weights...guess to each its own
trinidad moved up to MW and won the WBA MW title, And Oscar Moved up as well and won the WBO MW title, as of Pavlik,Tarver and Johnson.. Pavlik Beated JT who beated hopkins twice and B-hop was the first man to beat pavlik and tarver and johnson were the first guys to KO a weight drained jones jr where as bernard Beat Johnson by TKO and Tarver on UD and was also the first man to Knock Down Tarver..
He was bigger then Trinidad, DLH and Pavlik. The only guys he beat his own size were Tarver and Johnson, the other two guys(Roy Jones and Joe Calzaghe), he got beat.
The best fighters Hopkins has ever faced are: Calzaghe, Taylor, Tarver, Jones
and he is 1-4 against them.
How can people on this forum rank him as high as ATG 50, with this record?
EDIT: Who didnt have to move up 1-2 weight classes to fight Hopkins, Calzaghe was ready to make the jump to lhw so thats ok.
You act like those L's to Taylor and Calzaghe were blowouts. Anyone could make a solid case that Hopkins won those fights, so using them in your argument is pretty weak. What about his reign at middleweight? He was beating #1 contenders for years. Not just beating them, but ruining them.
Hopkins may have lost to calzaghe but it was a close fight and for the mans age he did very well imo, amazingly well really and he did gas badly in that fight, 10 years ago he would not have ran out of fuel so bad and the second half of the fight would have been a lot closer imo
