    Bernard Hopkins..the highest ranked present fighter?

    Everyone wants to fight over Manny and Floyd but Hopkins seems to be extremly underrated.... Guy was p4p#1 at 40..had 20 title defenses at 160..then moved up to 175 at the age of 41 and has had the Ring title 2 times..won the IBO,WBC and now the IBF, Oldest fighter to ever win a title and oldest to ever defend one

    Tito
    Oscar
    Pascal
    Winky
    Tarver
    Cloud
    Johnson
    Pavlik


    At the age of 49 he is a certified world champion and is looking to unify...is he the most decorated current boxer?

    I loved how you subconsciously put Manny in front of Floyd. It is a testament to who you truly think of first and regard in a higher position.

    And as far as Hopkins goes, sure he it is surprising he is still fighting and winning at that age. However, the level of competition has been poor. Even a guy like Roy who aged worse snatched a title the other day.

      Pac and Mayweather should both rank over Hopkins.

              While I do give him props for his age, most of the major fights against good/great dudes his size, he's come up short. A lot of his major wins have been against guys that shouldn't even be at the weight. He's a great boxer but not what people make him out to be.

                Hopkins has been fighting top ranked fighters in his division...Dawson,Cloud Pascal...so how is it poor?
