    I would consider him top 3 ATG if he is able to beat them all, convincingly.

        That would be one of the greatest things a fighter has ever done. I doubt he does it, but imagine if he did.

          Well somebody gotta try. Every other top fighter is more concentrated on the business. Getting dat paper and letting their fans fight for them. If Hop means what he says and goes out and tries, it's hats off failing or not.

              GOAT is down to opinion anyway just like p4p.. beating those 2 fighters at his age would be incredible and he'd have a solid case for being the GOAT


              no, he would not.

              you need to go back and realize just how often fighters used to fight. ray robinson has 1400 pro rounds and 200 pro fights. he mixed in some cans, the way they all did, but so did hopkins.

                so sounds like b-hop is aiming to fight stevenson and kovalev down the line.. if he beats them both is he the greatest of all time?

                Bhop already an ATG in my book - even unifying with Shumenov and Stevenson (which is possibly what he means - in a previous staement he seemed to ignore the WBO belt when talking about his desire to be unified champ) would be an epic achievement for a guy his age - but GOAT? I wouldn't go quite that far.

                  for what? being old?

                  one of the greatest things a fighter has ever done? stevenson isn't that good. he knocked out a shot chad dawson to get his belt. he defended it against flippin thundercloud and toney bellew.

                    Damn right for being old. Most fighters are shot by their mid-30s.

                    Becoming undisputed at his age is crazy. He's not talking just beating Stevenson. He'd have to beat Shumenov, Stevenson, and Kovalev, and probably be 51, actually, by the time he did all that.
