He's retired at the moment so I didn't mention him but yeah obviously... Unless Paul Williams or Margarito could have beat him but I doubt it...

I'm not all that certain Arturo Gatti would have ever got a title either. It's possible but he usually lost when he stepped up, despite being great to watch.

I think Hopkins wouldn't have reigned quite as long, but it would probably be close.

One name which comes to mind, unfortunately, is Ricardo Lopez. If you go back to the original 8 classes, you eliminate strawweight which is where he spent his prime and he was small at the weight and didn't move up until the final part of his career. If he had to go all the way up to 112 and fight the likes of Too Sharp Johnson and Yuri Arbachakov, because of how good they were and BIG compared to him (and he probably could have made 100lbs. in his prime), I don't think that, as masterful as he was, Finito Lopez wins a title.
