    Don't fool yourself into thinking boxing experts determine the quality of one's legacy.

      Anyway...the rest of the world has a more accurate take on American boxers than Americans. Boxers like Bhop & Floyd are fantastic propagandists...in America & UK.

        Jones would beat Hopkins in a H2H battle but resume wise, Hopkins edges it imo

              Then that means Ricardo Lopez was greater than Ali which we know is not true. KO'd past your prime does not count.

                I think their legacies are neck and neck. Personally I'd rank Hopkins a little higher because of the fact that Roy continues to fight (even though he's shot to pieces) and I feel like he's tarnishing his legacy a bit. It also helps that Hopkins is schooling youngin's and he's 189 years old.

                    Please dont put Floyd and BHOP in the same sentence. Thanks.

                      This is too close to call

                      Hopkins will be remembered for his dominance at 160 and I rank him as the greatest MW of all time. And then all the wins after that at the age hes doing it at. I don't think we'll ever see again

                      RJJ was the best fighter on the planet during part of the 90's and 00's. And he went up from MW to HW. If you consider his legacy than you have to consider his losses.

                      If I had to pick one I would pick BHop
