    incase you hadn't noticed it is roy jones/manny pacquiao vs bernard hopkins

    the top 3 of the era, greatest is obviously manny, but i'd like to see dibushbaby's arguement for why bhop is "clearly" the greatest of the era
    Now waitaminute there buddy,I said he is arguably,see how U try to start **** then try to put words in my mouth to defend ur own reaching??Go find where I said clearly & U wanna call other people idiots,wow.

      unifying a sht division like middleweight does not warrant a ranking such as "greatest of this era", it just doesn't, esspecially not then

      hopkins should have moved up to fight calzaghe instead of ducking, then we'd see him for what he really is, a cherrypicking fraud, srry, that's how i see it. And sure lets end it here, opinions are like *******s, everyones got one and everyone thinks everyone elses stinks

          Yeah well,B-Hop unified 160,was undisputted at 1 point there.But go ahead & cal the division ****ty because the same thing can be said about 147 right now,where Pacman happens to reside.

                    I asked why he felt 'Hopkins resume ****s on Roy's and it not even close' but sadly my request is still pending.
