Bernard Hopkins is the greatest middleweight in history

[Del Coqui]

He's top 10, but #1 is stretching it.

Robinson, Greb, Hagler and Monzon all rank higher.

20 wins is great, but you can't take a stat and say it's the end all be all.

Sugar Ray also.

I remember this thread, the very first thread where I argued with Bozo_No_No_Life.

I was just funnin' around, really, but he starts quoting Boxrec at me, always a keen point to use in arguments.

Because M*rt*n agreed with me he starts with the "all Brits..." bull**** that he uses all the time now. If I remember rightly this is the thread that Iron One came in and said "shut the **** up with that, I'm English and I love Bernard" and Bozo **** himself.


I say again... I couldn't give a **** if the guy had 20 (actually 19) defences against the likes of Robert Allen, he's nowhere NEAR the best middleweight of all time.

LOL, the only time Bozo's ever been polite in a debate:

Dont ****ing go there bozo im a brit and rate the **** out of hopkins, its down to the fact that the they dont rate him whereas we do simple as, being a brit has **** all to do with it

You seem to be offended, and that wasn't the intention.

I just noted that the only people I've seen on this site so bent on discrediting Hopkins for some strange reason, are you to and JuyJuy.

Not saying you're anything like that guy, granted I think he might be an ex-Eubank PR guy that was fired for being obsessed.

Nowehre did I say or mean to imply all Brits think this way.

I just stated that the only ones I've seen this dead set on hating on Hopkins are from the UK.

I apologise if any offense was taken.

robinson is the greatest

but b-hop is without a doubt one of the finest middleweights ever

[Easy-E]

I think there is no case where one can consider Hopkins the number one middleweight of all time.

I like that list...might swap Hagler and Greb around but otherwise..it's nice.
