    Man, I mean really, why did this guy just fight no talent bums his whole career?
    Fixed

    That said, Hopkins resume is always going to be discredited by haters.

    He has almost flawless technique. It's the biggest reason why he barely lost any rounds in his prime. It's the biggest reason why he's still been able to defeat top 5 fighter in the World well into his 40s. It's the reason why he made fighters with 1 punch KO power look average.

    Hopkins could be a boss in a video game. He's an ATG.

      If you knock Hopkins I think you need to be reminded of what he did when he was younger. What he did to guys like Tito and Johnson are absolutely mind blowing. He completely manhandled them.

      The guy is absolutely ATG.

        You could argue him being an ATG (IMO top 50 all time) but he's deff a Hall of Famer...

            What'd you fix? I looked at it for a bit, and couldn't see anything.

Truthfully, hopkins hasnt done **** since he KOed Trinidad. This chump even screamed the silent black man rule (never let a whiteboy beat me) and LOST!!! WTF?!?!?!? Hopkins sucks to me... I'm sorry but he does. He throws 250 punches per fight and he's a serious clown. You should see him driving De La Hoyas old bentley around Delaware smh. Dude isn't that good. He loss to Jermain "Nap Nap" Taylor, should of lost to Winky, Calzaghe, and other lames... dude is ok to me. Not great. Some praise him for beating up Pavlik but come on now. Pavlik moved up in weight to fight him. Not to mention we all just learned that Pavlik is a MUMMY.- Boxing scenes own BADGUY
                Try the same thread with Floyd "RESTING" Mayweather, if you think Hopkins in not an ATG, what do you of think of Floyd...

                  Hopkins has a greater legacy than Monzon or Hagler.

                  Most have those two as definate ATGs so Hopkins is a definate ATG.

                    the first time he met a great fighter in his weight class he got beat by roy jones jr.

                    the second time & third time, he got beat by jermaine taylor. whose not even great.


                    the 4th time, he got beat by joe calzaghe.



                    anybody who loses to jermaine taylor twice CANT BE A ATG.


                    hall of famer no doubt. but no atg.
