hopkins will be the unified lineal LHW champ at 50

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Hopkins would ugly up that fight so bad for 12 rounds, i might be watching something else by the 5th round


the only intrigue would be if Hopkins does get hit, how he takes that punch...but if that punch hasn't landed by the 5th round, i'm switching channels

beating stevenson would really be a nice way to head off into the sunset on a legendary career... but really top 10 of all time ,, no way. and that is no way an insult.

imo, manny n floyd are substantially ahead of bhop when it comes to legacy in rankings in history, and they're both clearly not top 10 OF ALL TIME..

[Larry the boss]

No he's not Louis is rarely in a Top 10 list atleast one with legitimacy.

Well obviously Duran has a case for Top 10.

Hopkins definitely doesn't and he won't if he beats Stevenson either.

Why would Duran have a case but not Hopkins?

[sugarsmosley]

beating stevenson n become unified lineal 175 champ wouldnt even be his greatest achievement.. people hes 1 of the greatest mw ever imo, how long was that man the champ at 160.

[Rudiamonds]

Why won't he take the test tho

[IronDanHamza]

Why would Duran have a case but not Hopkins?

Because he's much greater than Hopkins.

[Larry the boss]

Because he's much greater than Hopkins.

Based on what? his Leonard win??

That and his lw run vs all the top guys... Hopkins has a bunch of iran barkley type wins late in his career. but in his prime he was losing wide decisions to roy, and getting draws and being dropped by mercado.... Tito is his best win.. Duran has far better names on his resume..
Hopkins beating adonis would def make him top 30 or so, but top 10 is not realistic IMO

Duran did a worse than that, He quit in the second Leonard fight, talk about a wide margin before the fight ended.

I wouldn't say that Hopkins him being a Top 10 is out of the question.

What about Hopkins MW run??? so he got dropped by Mercado...Duran got put to bed in the damn ring for crying out loud...and even quit in a fight
