    Nah, not even close. He's a great fighter and all, but the top 5 P4P ATG's are all much more special then he ever could be

        Never got the hype with B-hop. It's like these guys conveniently forget about these losses. I feel like the calzaghe loss should count against him as well. It wasn't like joe was in his prime either, and can we honestly say hopkins would have handled calzaghe in his prime.

              He’s not even a top 5 all time middleweight.

                  Off the top of my head for middleweight I’d rate RJJ, Hagler, Hearns, Leonard and Toney all above him and that’s without going back further in history. If your including supermiddle Calazaghi is in that list ahead of him too.
                  1-Hopkins never fought at 168 so why mention super middle?

                  2-Why would you rank Hearns, Jones or Toney over him at 160?? that is not where they put in their work

                    Jones did not "beat the breaks" off of him..and those other 2 loses he was 40 and 50...What was your point?? people list top boxers like Ali and Robinson and both have gotten their asses kicked so once again whats your point?

B-Hop did say the “White boy” comment but AFAIK he said he got too into the trash talk and didn’t mean for it to go that far, and had nothing against whit people (can’t remember where I read that or I’d post it — it was obviously long ago). Also remember a White guy who knew him personally said he was a great guy and not racist at all...
                      The word racist is overused as much as bum or robbery.

                      Prejudice is a better word if you wanna call him somthing
