    Triangle theories dont work so i dont give BH extra credit for the win over Felix trinidad, just because he beat Joppy. I honestly thought BH would beat Tito as Titos main strenght was punch power.

    Titos main asset was punching power, and BH being a boxer can deal with boxers whose main asset is power. Its the boxers BH has trouble with.

      What triangle theories are you talking about? B-Hop still beat formidable Joppy...Just STFU and leave the thread.

          However, when Tito fought Joppy, Joppy was at worse the 2nd best MW at the time. Some thought thee best.

          And, the way Tito destroyed Joppy is what made the Hopkins win over Tito so damn good.

          Pac Barrera win is the only win Pac has that can be ranked higher than that Tito win for B-Hop.
          agreed.

          I go really with Bhop based on his longevity fighting very solid to elite comp and I also am one of those that appreciates ruling a weight class as opposed to jumping around and collecting trinkets.

            You said BH win over Tito was as good as Pacs win over Barrera, just because tito beat Joppy in 5 rounds. Tito didnt beat DLH or Witaker like that in 5 rounds.

            Tito isnt as good as Barrera, or JMM.

              Wow this thread has been going on the whole time I have been off.

              Have we evolved from moron to semi-moron yet or do we still believe Hopkins is greater than Monzon?

              Someone fill me in.

                hugh grant is still very active in here, so that should answer part of the question.

                don't recall anyone saying hopkins>monzon though

                    Many of Pacquiaos wins came against much bigger men. Many of B-Hop's biggest wins came against naturally smaller men from lighter weight divisions: Wright, De La Hoya, Trinidad, etc.

                    B-Hop started as a light heavyweight.
                    Pacquiao started as a strawweight.

                    Amazing how Manny and B-Hop fought the same opponent (De La Hoya) despite their natural size difference!

                    Pacquiao > Hopkins
