These kinds of comments always crack me up. No Sh^% a 46-year old Hopkins wouldn't beat a Bob Foster who some argue was the GOAT at 175. Neither would almost anyone else. He'd still be one of the 2-3 best fighters Foster ever beat in a title reign that made up for a weak class with utter dominance.
Moore-Hopkins would have been competitive. Moore probably wins, but it's also probably an ugly fight.
Bos, stick to watching your old school videos and stay in that era. Fighting historian? Been following boxing over 10 years and i don't know this "Bos".....now i know why......
No need for profanity, but without you Bos, everything would be the same. Let's keep it that way.
Completely ignorant. People argue and say that past greats are overrated but I remember when people were saying Pavlik would beat Hagler. So who's overrated? And to say that Pac beats the **** out of Duran is rather extreme; Freddie Roach himself said that Duran would likely win. And Mayweather embarrasses Basilio? Based on what? Basilio beat Robinson once and nearly did it again the second time. And yes I know Robinson was past his best, but for 1 he was bigger than Basilio and 2, hes Sugar Ray Robinson. Mayweather does not embarass Basilio, sorry kid.
Spot on, you've commented so I don't have to, thank you.
I give full props to Hopkins for being able to accomplish what he has at 46 years. He is truly amazing, but why are we even discussing him as an all time great at light heavy? If anything, argue about his merits as an ATG at middleweight. He fought his first bout as a light heavy, then spent 16 years at middleweight, arguably his prime years.
I can not imagine 46 year old BHop vs Moore or Foster. If we wanna discuss prime Hopkins, then its at middleweight circa 2001. Just my opinion, your mileage may vary.
Haha Joe Coward Slappy??? lol The guy who hid in Wales grinding out scorecard victories against taxi drivers, pretending he had a "fear of flying", while he waited for Hop and RJJ to be collecting social security! lol 43yo Bhop > 36yo Calzaghe
