      buchanon, dejesus a few times, and pretty much everyone at lw.. Hopkins run at mw was good in longevity, but look at the names... johnson and tito the only respectable names out of 20... robert allen, echols, carl daniels,,, C'mon man, you gotta be able to see the difference in the 2...

      Duran got put to sleep by hearns,, huge difference than a mercado

          Hopkins MW run is not really that impressive.

          Hopkins quit in a fight aswell.

            Also consider Duran was obviously passed it and like 35 lbs above where he started in his career.

            Plus, Hearns was a great fighter in his prime. No shame in losing to him even in that brutal fashion.

                    I agree, Hopkins should beat him. Not sure about top 10 all time, but I think his ranking will considerably rise

                      that might be a bit of a stretch think of the names you would have to bump out for him but if he can pull it off which i think he can he has go down as an atg but then again he should already.
