    Most underrated fighter ever.

    He's fought everybody, fought the best, and he's beat them all.

    Except Roy Jones- but that was still when he was inexperienced(he started boxing really late)

    Undefeated, undisputed for over a decade, and at 46 he's still here, still dominating, still strong.

    He's easily in my top 8 Greatest fighters of all time.

    I had him beating Calzaghe by a landslide

    I had him Beating Taylor both times ( by 1 and 2 points)

    and he obviously beat Pascal.

      B-Hop has accomplished a lot, but it's hard to see a legend faking fouls to get extended breaks in his fights lately.

          i dont know how can you not respect hopkins
          worst case scenario he is boring as hell, cheats, too cautious, rigged fight with de la hoya and has gotten gift decisions
          but even if all that was true you still have to give props to a guy who at 44 plus with nothing left to acomplish still wants to fight the best

            Hopkins was the Best Middleweight of his time.

            but you have to remember.

            He has no answer to a Prime Roy Jones Jr.
            He's best wins were againts career Welterweights
            He officially lost to Jermain Taylor twice. same Taylor that got KTFO by Pavlik, Froch and Abraham.
            Calzaghe beat him.

            He's a Great fighter but Floyd ranks above him.

              Hopkins is the greatest boxer of the last 20 odd years.

              Best middleweight ever. He would beat Ray Robinson and any of the fantastic four from the eighties. They simply weren't as good.

                His reign at MW is no more impressive then Calzaghe's at SMW.

                What is impressive is the level he has maintained and is fighting at past his late 30's and well into his 40's.

                  He was also robbed vs Pascal.

                  He has only been decisively beaten by Roy Jones Jr (excluding his debut fight).

                  Hopkins is a Top 50 ATG - set.
                  hopkins is a top 20 ATG imo hes been robbed alot as you posted!!!! the guy is one hell of a boxer but will never get his credit

                    Hopkins got robbed against Calzaghe because he is a blackman.
