how do you have him higher than these?

[Southpaw Stinger]

I have 50 fighters in my top ten.

[bojangles1987]

Lol. I already know the argument too when someone brings up that his resume doesn't put him anywhere near the top 10.

"He's old and still good!"

And that's really only the surface.

[sdcluser]

like others have mentioned, you can easily count 10 other ATG against BHop.

[Atreyu Khalil]

Top 10? ..who did he notably defeat @ MW that was a MW? Didnt calzage have a longer run @SMW? He beat Hopkins right? Calzaghe has never been beat, Calzaghe must be #8 or #9 on that list then?

[Tiozzo]

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.

the first line is absolute pure gold to be honest

pure comedy

I guess someone regrets having made this thread

Bow Down b1tches.

Taylor beat him for all those belts Larryx
rightfully, Calzaghe had all belts at 168, fuck Bute, Joe vacated
props for the long reign he had, but his opposition wasn't all that
props for the oldest champ claim too, but he beat Pascal for it
Pascal is a decent fighter and Hopkins deserves credit for the win
but it's the name, not the title, and Pascal's nothing special
you're right about Hopkins' losses being iffy sans Roy and Chad
Hopkins upset Trinidad, Tarver, and Pavlik
think he was favored in all his other fights
and who cares about controversy? has nothing to do with greatness
love Hopkins, he's ATG, but no way he's top 10

burns a PR flag IN PR! makes openly racist comments on NATIONAL TV!

That's something to be proud of and certainly makes him a top 10 ATG for sure...

Top 10 dirty ass ATG for sure.

I would have personally liked to have seen Hopkins move to 168 which was stacked around that time as opposed to staying at 160 was which quite frankly a weak division.

Yeah by the time he won his first world title McClellan, Collins, McCallum, Jackson, etc. were all out of the picture at MW.
