I rank him at one of the greatest of all time. Hes built something we dont see most fighter building today. A legacy! Breaking and making history. This is what the fighters of old has done in their life and careers as a fighter. Who cares what Ring or other organizations will rank him. Hopkins gets respect in and out of the ring. I dont have a rank for him, but i do have in the same pool with some of the greatest fighters thats laced them up!

An excellent boxer, example for new generation. Especially outside the ring, after being in prison, he came back to prove first of all for HIMSelf..and only then for those who didn't believe in him. Big respect for him.

I don't think beating Cloud adds anything. So wherever he's ranked now.

I agree with this. He'll just be breaking his own record. That's cool, I guess.

I do, however, think that he's going to beat Cloud. What I don't know, is if they'll give him the decision unless he's dominant.

I think greatest of all time lists are dumb especially outside the top 5-10.

Hopkins though belongs in the company of all the boxing greats.

EXCELLENT

Don't know, I don't think highly of Cloud but it'd be an amazing feature for the old man.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Hopkins could lose his next 10 fights and we still be remembered as a Top 30 ATG.

Period. Respect what the man is doing and what he has done. It will never be done again.

Most people expect him to beat Cloud, which is different for Hopkins at this point. He's not usually the favorite in recent years.
