    From 1993-2004, dude was the greatest fighter on the planet.

    Dude went from middleweight to heavyweight champ.

    I just don't see how you can deny the guy.
    Hopkins has a better resume than Roy, outside of his loss to him, which he avenged, albeit at a past prime date.

      Yeah, I can feel you on that, Hopkins had more people to fight at 160 and he definitely took the hard road.

      I still think Roy is better in terms of talent and accomplishments, but you can never take anything away from B-Hop, which is why he's my 2nd fav. active fighter.

        The big think Hopkins lacks compared with the Manny's, the RJJ's and the Floyds of this world is dominant/clear wins over great fighters.

        Manny has em.
        Mayweather has them.
        Jones has them.

        Hopkins just doesnt. Not at the time he beat them. PEople will shout Tarver but he is not a great fighter imo.

        Whats more Pac, MAyweather and Jones more than match Hopkins for the second tier of wins too.

        Hopkins is firmly behind them imo
