Bernard Hopkins has a stronger resume than any other fighter.

cotto was at 145.....marg was not that same marg that we know him as (& i think we know why) JMM beat him both times in my opinion. also you have to look at the diversity of the oponents that both guys have faced. hopkins have faced volume punchers, slick fighters. power punchers. everything.
he's fighting yet another solid fighter in dawson (at the age of 46 for goodness sakes) hopkins resume is WORLDCLASS. so much so that fans refuse to acknowledge how great it is & would rather down play it.
hatton, marg, diaz, cotto. are all come forward fighters.
it's also about how diverse your opponents *styles* have been.Comment

I chuckle a bit on how the hopkins - calzaghe fight has grown over time to the myth it is now. No sorry, it was not a robbery, and most people felt at the time that calzaghe had won. Just go back to the archives and look, if you don't remember it.
No one outside of Roy Jones has had such success going on the offensive against bernard.
Please go back and watch the fight again, and tell us all which rounds you gave b-hop.

As for the topic, yeah maybe if you're talking about currently active fighters. All time? Not even close.
Holyfield, Roy Jones jr and pacquiao are still active aswell. Worth a thought.Comment

the calzaghie fight was a SD gift to joe for goodness sakes. calzaghie didn't win.......the judges gave the fight to calzaghie. calzaghie looked like total **** in that fight. down & hurt. outboxed & made to look like a amateur......I don't care about the pitty pat shots that were landing on hopkins arm & shoulders. he was countered & made to look foolish.
You don't win fights by landing one or two punches and faking low blows to get rest cause he couldn't deal with Calzaghe.Comment

Which rounds did you give b-hop?Comment

pascal, tarver, tito, oscar, winky, jones jr. (first fight) taylor, calzaghie, weren't come forward fighters. (even dawson who's lined up to fight hopkins is no where NEAR a come forward fighter)
I can go on & on.........Comment

I prefear Hopkins than Pacman, but I Know Cotto, Margarito, Oscar are not in his prime, but it's like Hopkins fight against Haye and the K brothersComment

calzaghie was countered hurt & made to look silly. calzaghie "punches" were mostly landed on hopkins arms & gloves. hopkins won the fight but since he was the villain in that fight joe got the gift SD. but in realty he didn't win.
hopkins also CRIED FOR A REMATCH IN JOES BACKYARD BUT JOE QUICKLY REFUSED.
also. joe was a HELL of a lot younger then hopkins. of course hopkins will play the game the OLD MANS WAY he was not as nearly as young as calzaghie you fool. & calzaghie hit hopkins below the belt (on his balls) thats stands for a break regardless of what you think......you can't hit a fighter on his balls & think that he's not gonna get a break.Comment
