    Bernard Hopkins is a TOP 10 ATG.

    1) The first true undisputed champ. No one else in history has held the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and Ring Mag. belt all at the same time.

    2) He's defended his World middleweight title over a record 20 fights.

    3) The Oldest man to win a legitimate World title at the age of 46.

    4) Besides a prime roy and being too old for Dawson, he has never truly convincingly lost a fight.

    5) He has upsetted numerous PRIME top fighters while being a past primed underdog.

    6) King of Controversy: burns a PR flag IN PR! makes openly racist comments on NATIONAL TV!




    Bow Down b1tches.

              He didn't beat beat a prime Roy, Dawson, or Calzaghe.

              Other then beating Trinidad, the fighters he beat at MW weren't top caliber. He's a top 25 ATG. Has a lot of good wins.

                      He certainly is not. And he's not even remotely close either.

                      He is an ATG though.

                          I remember Max Kellerman saying that the loss to Chad Dawson was the first time he scored a loss for Bernard Hopkins since Roy Jones in 1993.

                          Post-Roy he had a helluva run. As good as you will find in this generation of fighters.

                                  I can't see how he's a Top 25 ATG.

                                      I also forgot to mention that he didn't want any part of James Toney in 96. Hopkins also did not want to fight Calzahge in 2002.
