Personally I think he has to be number 1. To jump 15pounds and beat the undisputed champ, that's BIG. The number 1 now Floyd, how can his resume right now compete with that. Your opinions ?
Where do u rate B-Hop p4p at the present ?

He has to be in the top 3 atleast ? I personally don't think jt beat him. 1st fight 116-112 2nd 115-113. What has manny#3 or winky#2 do that was even close to his recent accopmlishment. Even Floyd #1 ? 2 weight classed in an instant bro, think about it ?Comment

It was a very impressive win no doubt but come on dont discredit Floyd. He still is the King p4p. Off the top of my head Id put Hopkins anywhere from 6 to 10.Comment

2. Manny Pacquiao (130)
3. Winky Wright (160)
4. Jermain Taylor (160)
5. Marco Antonio Barrera (130)
6. Bernard Hopkins (175)
7. Joe Calzaghe (168)
8. Rafael Marquez (122)
9. Ricky Hatton (147)

i would put hop at 6 or 5. but i would keep jermaine over him- i was with hop winning the first fight but it doesnt matter. 2 losses against taylor are in the books and thats how it went down whether i like it or not. but hop has been just on the outskirts of my top 10 since last summer so this fight has certainly brought him back into the p4p picture for me.
and as far as his legacy- his career will be remembered as legendary. sugar ray robinson is still the king, but bhop belongs in any list or reference to the top 5 middleweights of all time- despite this huge win being at lightheavy. i think if taylor wins on saturday- more than anything- this is all going to just speak really really really highly of taylor. if he beats winky then taylor is the truth, plain and simple.
the only fight i wont be pissed at hopkins for taking at this point is the jones rematch- other than that, it's time to hang them up and smile at everything he's accomplished. hopkins life story and career are both folklore material now.Comment
