    i'll give you 8 fighters though.

    muhammad ali , sugar ray robinson , sugar ray leonard , roberto duran , joe louis , henry armstrong , marvin hagler , archie moore.

    there's 8.

    the most popular and well known names too.
    You do realize Archie Moore had 23 losses right?

    And how is Roberto Duran greater than Bernard Hopkins? In what way?

      whoa. i hope you're joking.


      you realize moore has almost 3 times as many KO's as hopkins has fights right?

      i think we can let some of his losses to HOFers slide.


      duran is greater than hopkins. hell one only has to look at their signature win.

      duran moved up to welterweight from lightweight to beat leonard. hopkins best win is a welterweight trinidad moving up to middleweight.

      hell duran edged out iran barkley at middleweight. iran barkley is probably better than most of the 160 division hopkins ruled. keith holmes , robert allen , william joppy? come on.

              Once again Tua *****s on everybody elses opinion and "they know nothing" because its not the same as his on boxing or basketball.

              Hopkins is one of the greatest boxers of the last 20 years. EASILY. And one of the best to ever lace them up. A top 40 atg in my book and that'd be hard to argue trying to think of 40 boxers better then Hopkins. He was the complete package. ****in everybody once to see Sergio fight Pac or Floyd yet everybody *****s on Hopkins for fighting Oscar & Tito who were bigger then those 2, and the Oscar fight was at a catch weight because he was pretty good at 154 and why did Tito keep fighting at Middleweight after the loss? B-Hop didn't haven't to rematch him, he dominated him for 11 rounds, then KO'd him in the 12. You can't dominate somebody much more then that...
