Hopkins had a great end of his career and all but it don't eclipse Roy or Pacman.
    How jones dismantled hopkins was freaky

      I just dont get why people rank Roy automatically over Hopkins
      UMM because he easily beat him in his prime. EASY EASY WIN. And he went from 160 and won a hw title. LOL you're clueless.

          The more time will be passing by, the less meaning will Jones's late career losses have. When it mattered most, Jones beat Hopkins. Also Jones's returning to LHW and winning his title back is overshadowed by his later KO losses. But it happened. I can't recall any other instance that a fighter went down two divisions and won a legitimate title over legitimate opponent. Going down in weight is THAT much harder.

Moving up two divisions at his age and then winning multiple titles is an incredible achievement that I doubt anybody will ever accomplish again.
            There's no valid argument to put Hopkins above Jones jr at all.

              Because his resume is better, he was better, he beat hopkins when they were both good, he has more titles, has more titles in more weight classes etc etc-

                explanation

                Manny had the best wins

                Hopkins had the 2nd best resume with longevity

                Jones resume wasnt that great and his fire blew out a long time ago
                Totally agree with the ordering, not sure why people always seem to have Jones ahead of Hopkins.

                      I go with Jones at #1. He had the best prime and he was the only fighter I ever actually felt might be unbeatable during that time. I think he could have challenged himself more though so this is closer than it should be.

                      Hopkins Id have at #2. I do value being undisputed and dominating divisions for historical context so his 160 run means a lot for me as does his career in his 40s.

                      Pacquaio Id have 3rd but close. He has the best competition of the lot and was the most memorable but lack of unifications, historical rankings in single divisions (I’m not into divisional hopping so much) and the fact I think he’s just not quite as good as those two.

                      All three are great and top 50 all-time IMO. Probably between 35-45 range.
