    Well since Ricardo Lopez was technically still elite and retired after Whitaker. I would say that Lopez is the most skilled fighter technically since Whitaker.

    Now if you want to say that B-hop is the most skilled fighter technically since Finito. Then by all means go ahead.

      You can't cuz' it never happened.
      Right I don't hang around Nard, I just realize that he's not dumb and is conscious of everything he states. If he was truly a racist, I think he'd show a bit more separatism outside of making that one statement.

      I've never seen a guy get so much praise for engaging in non boxing. He purposely goes into fights to spoil them and do as little fighting as possible while actively maximizing as much fouling and holding and mugging as possible.

      Hopkins is anti-boxing.
      He's a street fighter, which is why I appreciate his style in the ring.

      The bold isn't 100% correct. In his younger days he would have been more entertaining according to your standards. Perhaps you should watch some of his Pre-Trinidad affairs because he didn't shy away from anything.

      He was rugged and fought in the trenches.

        Agree with the bold..........disagree with the rest. Mayweather is better than Hopkins technically.

          Actualy he isn't. mayweather is very technical but half of his game is speed. Also Hopkins never gets caught flush like mayweather has many times.

              B-Hop vs

              Hagler easy UD win for B-Hop
              Hearns this would be a war but B-Hop would KO him with in the 1st 6 rounds
              Leonard late KO by B-Hop
              Toney tough UD for B-Hop
              Mike Spinks at 175 I think B-Hop would kill him and win an easy UD
              Steve Collins easy UD for B-Hop

                He's smart in the ring and does everything well, but nothing exceptionally.

                His success has more to do with exploiting the ******* white guilt of hbo with his "reparations" attitude and being an opportunist when it comes to opponent selection.

                    He's talked about how hbo is racist towards him in the past cuz' they don't give him the credit he thinks he deserves like a little crybaby.

                    He's totally racist simply for what he said to Joe. I can see his anti white chip on his shoulder from a mile away.

                    Look at how he snapped at Bunce for no reason. No doubt cuz' in his eyes Bunce represents the great Satan.

                      He does many things exceptional. Exceptionally he evades punches, limits opponents offense, doesnt waste punches, good connect percentage, controls pace and has been one of the best ring generals for well over 15 years.
