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
Does B-Hop have an argument for Top 5 P4P ATG?

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.Comment

No,not even close..I wonder when people ask questions like this if they cane even name 100 boxers throughout history and know any details about themComment

1-Hopkins never fought at 168 so why mention super middle?Not a chance... he was a good champion, good solid fighter.. i wouldn’t say he was exceptional when compared to the likes of Robinson, Ali or even Mayweather in the modern era.
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.
2-Why would you rank Hearns, Jones or Toney over him at 160?? that is not where they put in their workComment

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?Comment

The word racist is overused as much as bum or robbery.I think the racist thing is fake news.. 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...
Prejudice is a better word if you wanna call him somthingComment
