            Yeah, people need to stop throwing around random numbers when they can't even name 10 ATG's off the top of their head.

            I don't know where Hopkins ranks, or Pac for that matter. It's subjective and there is no specific criteria.

              not really but US has the biggest market for boxers if your popular in the U.S chances are you are more popular than euro boxer like sturm, abraham and the klits. One thing is for sure brits know pac because of the hatton win.

                .
                Since when did Pac fight smaller men? Pac purposely stayed at a lighter weight and still beat the people. He was fighting people at their best weight when Pacs best weight was 140 Pac has now stepped up and beating bigger people at their best weight as well. Did BH ever go down in weight to accomodate Tito, DLH and others, no!

                Pacs resume is superior to BHs. BH hasnt got anyone as good as Barrera or Morales, or JMM. Tito and DLH are good, but they had to step up to BHs weight and they are smallish guys. Than Pac beats guys like Cotto and Margarito and these guys are better than the Pascals easiliy

                  pacquiao had to move up from 122 to 126 to fight marquez and barrera.

                  pacquiao had to move up from 126 to 130 to fight morales.
