    or beating a 36 year old tarver at 175 coming down from heavyweight is better than beating a 34 year old tarver when your coming down from heavyweight, yep
    alot of people argue roy lost that first tarver fight..plus hopkins jumped 2 divisions at 40 and beat tarver

      what do you think is more of a challenge, fighter a smaller guy coming up in weight for the first time, or going up in weight and fighting a bigger guy at his proper weight?


      Wow,seriously,U start an argument & then have the nerve to put this in there??The only fighter or champion above 140 that Pacman has beaten at the correct weight was Clottey.Now ur reaching & making urself look foolish.

                  why do you idiots think i was talking about pacquiao when pacquiao has clearly not fought the bigger guys at the proper weight? why?i know you know i was obviously talking about roy jones, unless you are just beyond ****** people

                  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

                    Besides Tito & Oscar were already middleweight champions when B-Hop beat them.Oh,did I forget that he was also unified & undisputted as well??Just threw that in there for ****s & giggles.U may not like it,but there is valid argument for considering B-Hop as the greatest of the current active fighter.My opinion is that he is,urs obviously isn't,but my argument is valid,just like urs is.That's why I said arguably,don't get mad,it is what it is.

                      wasn't calzaghe fighting a 40 year old hopkins that had been inactive for roughly a year? or am i wrong lol ...

                      fact that calzaghe struggled to get past him proves why he don't get credit

                      furthermore, the fact that he wasn't up for a rematch says it all ..
