      HBO creation, like a past-prime Naseem Hamed and the over-rated Lennox Lewis. Hopkins' 20 title defences came against very poor opposition, including Robert Allen three times (Robert who?), and his best wins came against blown-up lightweights (Tito and Oscar) at almost 40 years old. It was ridiculous that people got so carried away with this guy.

        I dont know if I could call Hopkins a fraud but there is a lot of truth to what you say about him.

        Can you imagine how many defenses Oscar ot Tito could have had if they just decided upon fighting madatories/tomato cans like Nard did?

        Oscar would still be undefeated.

          you seem to forget that bhop was a underdog vs tito...

          they guy fought the opposition at middleweight and it was lackluster at the time.
          he is still an all time great, comparable to lewis in regards to his record.

          roy jones is perhaps the most talented boxer that has ever laced up the gloves

                What other things could effect a boxing match other than boxing?

                  Roy Jones, Hopkins, Tyson, Lewis....

                  They all were too good, for too long, to be labeled "frauds".
                  You can say they were overrated, but none of them were damn frauds.

                    Hopkins, Jones Jr, Tyson, Lewis are not frauds. They are the elite boxers of the past two decades and easily in the hall of fame. Michael Grant is a fraud.
