    How many people talk about Ken Norton? Exactly.



    Hopkins will be lost to time.

    Flick, what do Hopkins and Norton have in common? Hopkins will be remembered just as Archie Moore is.

      1.Roy Jones Jr
      2.Bernard Hopkins
      3.Manny Pacquiao
      4.Marco Antonio Barrera
      5.Rafeal Marquez/Erik Morales/Floyd Mayweather

        Mayweather will be forgotten as he's not an exciting fighter with memorable fights. Guys like Pacquiao and Tyson will still be talked about. Phenomenons.

          You're nuts if you think Mayweather will be forgotten, especially if he doesn't lose. A lot of boxing rankings already have Mayweather very high and his defense is talked about as top 3 of all time. He will be remembered and be more appreciated down the line.

          I assume this guy is talking about guys from the 2000s. Dudes that people will talk about 50 years from now aka for the end of time in this era Roy Jones Jr, Oscar, Floyd, and Manny. Hopkins and some other hall of famers will be talked about but not in the same like as those 4 because each one of those guys brought something new to the game or changed the sport.

              That is the weebler II you are responding to. He does not like Floyd at all. He's like I am with Cotto.

                  Hopkins is top 3 Greatest MW of all time.
                  20 consecutive title defenses and actually unifying all the 5 Major belts which nobody before or after done.
                  Oldest fighter to ever win a title?????????????

                  are you ****ing kidding me?

                      Top 3 is a bit high in my opinion, but certainly anywhere between 5 and 10, no doubt.
