      Jones Jr and Hopkins are HBO creations more than anything, past-prime Hamed and Lennox Lewis were also over-rated by HBO hype.

        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.
        Jones is first for sure, but I think Toney will be better remembered than Hopkins. If Toney unifies even two of the titles, he will have done something more recognizable to the mainstream fan than anything Hopkins has done or can do.

            How come Roy is considered a non-risk taker but what risks has hopkins ever taken? If Roy had stayed at middle weight would we even know who Hopkins is today?

                    if b-hop wins tommorow, it will b him, if not, RJJ (unless toney goes on to win the heavyweight title and succesfully defend it a couple times, than i put him ahead of RJJ)

                      Hopkins hands down, he's had a 10 year reign, unified the titles, defeated 2-3 all time greats, and made a record of middleweight defenses with 20, the other fighters mentioned don't even touch him.
