    I might as well say, 90 years later Hopkins is still a champion and Jack Dempsey is not.
    Him and Eubanks were fighting at the same time to begin with...Hopkins began in the 80's sir

      I understand that but the length of a career is no reflection on its quality.

      Overall though I would agree that Hopkins has the better legacy.

        Lol there's no comparison between the two. Hopkins fought absolute cans, the likes of Mercado, Daniels and Telemundo.

          Eubank was a decent champion but the notion he is anywhere near Hopkins is ridiculous

            Although resume is the number 1 barometer , longevity is a factor that is going to propel Hopkins to a higher ATG ranking.

              True but I wouldn't hold it against another fighter who achieved all that he had to in a shorter period.

                Bernard Hopkins is an all-time great in boxing worldwide. Eubank is only a British great and nowhere near Hopkin's elite level. Hopkins would have boxed Eubank's ears off for the entire 12 rounds.

                  I agree Americans who support Hopkins are indeed idiots.

                    a long career in which includes great achievement does indeed reflect quality

                      Eubank was universes bigger in Europe, Asia and Africa. Not a cats chance in hell Hopkins would 'box Eubanks ears off'??! Eubank!?
