    Hopkins is a LHW. He dropped 175lbs.

    So, if anything, Pavlik had the advantage.

    Besides. A few LBS are meaningless in the bigger picture - Hopkins is ancient. That alone tells a story.
    That's funny because at the time Pavlik hadn't even had a fight at Super Middleweight.

    So he actually moved up 10 lbs.

    "If anything, Pavlik had the advantage"

    Lord have mercy.

        Hopkins, Manny and Mayweather have all beaten more current champions then him..Floyd has more win over current champions then all of them

        and did you really list Trinidad for Jones???..so you can list Jones for Hopkins then right?
        How did Roy Jones not fight the best?

        Who should he have fought?

        He beat Hopkins himself, beat James Toney which is by far better tan anything Hopkins did. And has plenty of other top wins that aren't as known as Pascal or Pavlik but are clearly better like Montel Griffin for example.

        If we talk about belts then he's a 4 weight champion, all but one of the belts at 175.

        Jones is clearly greater.

          How is this even debatable.

          Bhop could lose to Kovalev and still be miles better than Floyd on everyones ATG list

            I don't understand how anyone like yourself who was around when they were both fighting can have Hopkins ahead of Roy.

            Roy is clear better and clearly greater by quite a margin.

                  Floyd has already lost the respect and he wont get it regardless of him fighting Pacquiao he has left it WAY too late and he only has himself to blame.

                    Well, that's just not true at all.

                    I'm not a fan of Hopkins, I suppose this day and age that makes you a "hater".
