    Hopkins should not be called the executioner,he should be called the opportunist cause all he does for the most part is pick on fighters that are willing to move up and fight him,pick on weak opposition for money, or pick on a fighter he knows is gonna be weight drained like in the Tarver fight.
    Mention the part about how BHOP excessively clinches and uses head-butts to try to win fights against Roy Jones Jr, Calzaghe and Wright.

      So, you are going to tell me beating gatekeepers like Miranda and Andrade is more impressive than Taylor, Dirrell, and Kessler????? How in the F do you have Bute greater than Froch?

          That Taylor that is on Froch's resume is not a good win, its a past-it Taylor who was still outpointing Froch until the 12th round. Whats so impressive about getting outboxed by as fighter who is past his best to have to win by KO in the final round?

            So you guys will rank Dirrell ahead of Bute just cuz of ONE win? And, he beat a guy who best win in the division is a damaged Taylor? ....

                I don`t understand what is the whole hype on Lucian Bute.Everytime a fight scores a knockout he`s hype as the new God of boxing.

                For example:


                Jermaine Taylor,Samuel Peter,Kelly Pavlik,Mikkel Kessler,Carl Froch,Arthur Abraham,etc.


                As soon as they fight someone with a pulse then ya`ll say"He`s been exposed".

                Ya`ll should have known he was a bum before they fought someone with a pulse.

                  That Taylor is equal to Miranda or Andrade. If Taylor is ****, so are those two guys.

                    Hmm? Froch hasn't beat kessler, he lost to dirrell and he narrowly almost lost to taylor.

                    I think based on his RESUME you could make the case that Froch is #1 right now, but if you take a closer look (robbery of dirrell) he shouldn't be.

                    That's why I would personally have Bute at 1, Froch or Ward at 2.
