furthermore Hopkins was totally inactive against Calzaghe and Jermain Taylor so I dont really see how you can have him winning those fights.

I wonder why that is.....
PS. For a pristine example of this check out the thread on who the "smartest" Heavyweight champion was.....it's classic.

Joe Louis, who has a great resume will always be ranked over say Marciano, and while the same size and got pulverized by him is considered to be able beat a Klitschko or other massive modern heavyweight even though Marciano is not. Perception is what I was going for, not the color of a fighters skin. If that's how some fighters are judged than It's not my doing.
Not many posters on here are too comfortable saying that Dempsey, Tunney or Marciano would beat the Klitschko's but they are comfortable saying Louis, Jack Johnson or Ali would. It's just perception and I'm using that.
My motives have nothing to do with race. Some of my favorite fighters are black and American. Hell I'm American and Roy Jones is my favorite fighter. Joe Louis and Foreman are some of my favorite fighters. You say, Oh, he likes Tommy Morrison, he must be racist. Well guess what, I'm a huge Rocky fan so if Stallone was a fighter, he would be my favorite. He's not so you can put that garbage to bed because it's off base.
-Invincible, lol

Please stop with your "bum of the month club" nonsense, you know nothing about it. You didn't know the phrase was coined by a journalist because Louis was destroying them so easily. You didn't know the "bum of the month club" consisted of 6 fighters fought in 6 months, 3 of them ranked in the top 10. Out of Vitaly's last 6 fights (in a 3 year period) he has fought only two fighters who were currently ranked in the top 10 by "The Ring" if Im not mistaken. His last 3 opponents had a COMBINED 40 fights at heavyweight. Come on now, who is really fighting the bums?
For the record, Vitali has beaten Ring top 10 ranked fighters 6 out of his 9 fights since coming back including the #2 guy twice (Peter and Adamek) and a Gold medalist. I think he's making due with what the division offers.

That Solis dude was fat but he had some skill, then he just goes and get's bumped on the head and quits.
