Boxing Scene Members: Who Faught The Best Opposition In Boxing History?

[Easy-E]

lewis level of comp imo is better than hopkins

Perhpas, but the fact that he was stopped by Rahman and McCall while BHOP was undefeated for so long makes it a wash.
Lewis's resume doesnt compare to the greats.

[ben41193]

b-hop fought alot of awsome fighters over a long period of time so i give it too him.

[Verstyle]

But just beacuse they beat the people in front of them, doesnt mean they faced the best.

but the question was best opposition

[GEOFFHAYES]

The only decent, natural MW's that Hopkins fought (Jones Jr, Taylor), he lost against.

[GunStar]

first of all, he lost to hagler (robbed) and was being beaten up by hearns before the fight was unfairly stopped. (woulda prolly been stopped later on, but u gotta give a fighter a chance, ya know?)
and then he lost to hearns the second time. HE even admits that, he was given a gift draw

ANd he lost to duran once, but i guess thats because he chose to trade instead of act smart

and u forgot dave green, which was easily leonards greatest KO victory.

and floyd mayweather, who he knocked out in 9 i think.

and those are some great wins, but they dont compare to ali or robinsonIMO.

Hagler is my favorite fighter of all time, but I thought Leonard won the fight.

He stopped Hearns the first time and he almost stopped Hearns in the last minute of the second fight.

He stopped Benitiz a guy that Duran and Hearns didn't stop.

I didn't mention Mayweather and the others because those fighters were not all time greats like the 4 I mentioned.

Leonard has beaten more P4P greats then anyone else, Benitiz is considered by many to be the greatest Puerto Rican boxer of all time, Hagler is considered the greatest middleweight of all time and Duran and Hearns are considered by many to be in the top P4P list of all time.

ali for sure is number one imo

he did face the vest opposition in his prime did he not?

[Oasis_Lad]

he did face the vest opposition in his prime did he not?

no he faced the best of a seriously weak era

i will say tyson had the skills to compete in any era
if he could have done though is up for question

ali
robinson
leonard
hagler
foreman are just a few off the top of my head who had better resumes than tyson could ever dream of

[TheEvilSaint]

muhammad ali, no doubt is number 1. marvin hagler, sugar ray robinson, sugar ray leonard (groan), maybe larry holmes, henry armstrong, harry greb, carlos monzon, joe louis i guess.
