Compiling a list of the greatest fighters of all time is a daunting process full objectivity, so not everyone is going to agree ofcourse. I don't know, it's a tough call. Hopkins would not be in my top ten list, only because of the level of oposition he has faced throughout his career. It's not his fault the contender pool wasn't very talented, but it also didn't help when he chose to face fighters like Murad Hakkar, when it did nothing much for his legacy except add an easy defense to his record. 'B-Hop' is an incredible fighter non the less, a true force of nature. Beating Felix Trinidad, Oscar De La Hoya, and now a champion in Tarver following his 20 record defenses and his ten year undefeated stint, easily places him among my top twenty.
Is B-Hop on your top 10 all time list?

actually Pep was another consideration. I see where you are coming from, but i honestly don't beleive that alot of the older fighter, would have been as success with the more recent fighters. many may disagree, but with the training methods of today, i really belive the fighters i listed are the best. can you post your list?Originally posted by Bozo_no noNo offense, but that's a casual fan's list.
Where's Armstrong, Langford, Moore, Charrles, Pep, Wilde etc etc.
Way too many names like that to have B-Hop crack the top ten.
And that's no knock, it's just being realistic.Comment

hopkins has been in the top of my list for years.
maybe more because he has been my favorite fighter, but now it's more due to his credentials, although i thought his credentials were solid in the first place, but he's more solid now......Comment
