    dont give me this bull that hopkins was green when they fought, hop had more fights in and is older.


    toney was considered top 2 or 3 in the world at the time jones handed his ass to him.


    jones than hop than toney.

    Hopkins was hardly even a top 10 fighter...

Hopkins' quality of opposition outside of a couple of 'names' (eg blown-up lightweights Oscar and Trinidad) is actually a damn heck of a lot worse than Eubank's, Michalczewski's, Ottke's and Calzaghe's oppositions.
      Out of Eubank's, Michalczewski's, Ottke's and Calzaghe's oppositions, Eubank's is by far the best.. and he didn't even give a toss about boxing.

      Benn and Watson are better than anything Michalczewski, Ottke or Calzaghe have fought. Eubank was also robbed against Collins, so add Collins to Benn and Watson. Close was the only future pro to beat Michalczewski in the amateurs, Rocchigiani was robbed against Michalczewski in the pro's. Eubank's performance against Wharton is better than any performance that Michalczewski, Ottke or Calzaghe came up with.

      Eubank was a two-weight world champion, he made 15 defences at 168 of his WBO title and some say he should of added the WBC version at Old Trafford. And Eubank revelled in his role as the game's great showman, so he was damn more entertaining and humurous than Michalczewski, Ottke or Calzaghe. And Eubank was black, whereas Michalczewski, Ottke and Calzaghe were white.

        Hey JUYJUY,

        Can you take your bias bull**** somewhere else?
        Go to a ****in British forum, where you can find people that pray to Eubank almost as much as you do...


        Jones was exposed when he stepped up his game...
        Hopkins TKO Johnson, RJJ got KTFO by Johnson...

            Another, I think even more relavant comparison to Hopkins is Sven Ottke. I believe he does hold the record the most consecutive title defences at Super Middle. Again, against relatively mediocre opposition.

            *These points have to be made seeing as Hopkins leads the poll.

                  Considering how easy it is to defeat Juyjuy, it's pretty sad that you are humiliating yourself. Jones was never exposed, as he beat far better fighters than Tarver in his prime, period. That's like saying Hearns was exposed when he lost to Iran Barkley...what?

                  Hopkins fought Johnson when Glen was not near his best, whereas Glen fought RJJ when RJJ was obviously past it and uninterested.

                    If Jones Jr fought and beat McClellan, Benn, Eubank and Michalczewski then I'd have no problem rating him as the best fighter who ever lived. I just don't think he'd of lasted two rounds with McClellan, I think he'd of got into exchanges with Benn at some point, and Eubank had the tools to outpoint him.
