      Yeah, I can understand that.

      B-Hop is one of those guys that's bigger than the sum of his parts.

      It's easy to say he doesn't do any one thing better than anyone else, but he was just a whole lot of intangibles who got it done by hook or by crook.

        Hop > GGG
        GGG would never have been properly prepped for Hop. Late tko/quit

        Hagler > Hop
        Marv is more refined and has more tools. UD.

        Ward > Nelo
        (See: Hop > GGG)

        Nelo > Froch
        Better boxer beats Bigger man. UD

        GGG ? Froch
        Draw

        GGG > Tito
        GGG's jab will ruin Tito's game plan.
        Late tko or UD.

          Oh yeah I mean I wasn't a huge fan of his style...but I still feel like he could really box sometimes in addition to the dirtiness he had, so I liked that...and I like a little dirty fighting too...the line between clean and dirty in boxing is so small sometimes anyway.

          I think I said it in another post...but I can't think of one guy from 160-175 all-time who would have an easy day with B-Hop...he was just a different animal in there...I can't picture a style that would beat him easy...well maybe RJJ took it to him in the first fight but a prime RJJ is imo pretty clearly one of the best to ever do it around those weights.

            Oh yeah RJJ is one of the goats, but I'll say that the Hopkins of the late '90s was a totally different Hopkins of the early '90s
