Should Hopkins be top 10 p4p now?

[kombayn]

I believe he's extremely close to Top 10 P4P, but if he beats Adonis Stevenson then he better be in the P4P rankings or people truly just don't like B-Hop inside the business.

he's always been on mine now he gets a boost.

"Now?" Meaning, because he recently dominated an opponent with a Pro record of 15 fights and whose never had a boxing trainer (Self-taught).

Absolutely Not!!!!






Side Note: I don't want to seem dismissive of self-taught individuals, because I am not. Every self-taught craftsman has benefited greatly from mentors and or trainers at some point in their career. You would be hard pressed to find a professional in any profession, that was self-taught throughout their whole career.

Well he was good enough to go to the olympics and win a world title, Hopkins just made him look bad. Rigondeux only has like 10 fights holyfield won a title in like 12 fight, leon spinks beat Ali with few fights

By the way your sig claims small minds discuss people and here you are, discussing people

He's the greatest active imo. But honestly he's probably too old to beat a top pfp fighter. However I still think that if he and Pacman, Marquez, Bradley and Floyd could all compete in the same weight class he'd beat them all.

The #1 thing to look at when making a P4P list is recent W's and L's and the quality of each opponent. Hopkins recent record isn't that impressive.

Neither is Gayweathers, **** if you took away Canelo it would make for great toilet paper after a squishy dump

Yeah Hopkins is now #1 p4p for beating a Fing nobody ffs.

[-Kev-]

He's top 10 to me. Cloud, Murat, Shumenov. 3 top 10 LHW's in a row. GGG is in ESPN's top 10 for beating similar competition.

He fought twice in 2013, and is on pace for two fights in 2014, all against top 10 fighters. His next fight is against the consensus #1 fighter at 175. He's 49 and hasn't fought a non-top 10 fighter since 2010. That is 4 years of fighting top 10 LHW's. In the same span, he will have fought for The Ring title 5 times (Pascal 2x, Dawson 2x, Stevenson).

Lots of unwarranted hate for a fighter who has fought nothing but top fighters for 4 years straight. Before fighting Ornelas and Jones, two gimme fights, he fought Taylor 2x, Winky, Tarver, Calzaghe Pavlik, consecutively, arguably winning all 6 fights, but officially still going an impressive 3-3(Because of the level of opposition, going 3-3 is impressive), his only losses being all SD's and one UD.

Canelo, Cotto, Mosley, Marquez were all top 10 P4P when Mayweather fought them.

Hopkins recent record doesn't read too good. The only top 10 fighter he fought beat him back in 08. He's also lost since then.

Don't attempt to grasp what my sig means ... your mentality clearly is too lacking for the concept.
