Where does Hopkins stand?

[GxBrak]

i really dont think that that factor has much to do with it when looking at the larger picture

[realtim]

Hopkins wont get appreciated until he retires and we look back on his career. Give the guy a break. When all of the great middleweights die he will be up there chatting to Greb, La Motta, Zale, Cerdan, Hagler, Darcy, Ketchel, Fitzsimmons, Walker all the great middleweights hes on there level not necessarily above or below but he's on the level. Not in tnat order. Throw names i might have missed out on in the list. Please dont mention RJJ on the list.

[GxBrak]

yeah, i think its just a matter of time after a fighter retires that he's remembered fondly or as "one of the greatest"

[restless_438]

he's at least top 5 for sure

[jayrichardse]

he stands on the coward side

Among the other great middleweights in the history of the games based upon tonight's win?

hopkins is an all time great..in a great division..robinson greb monzon ketchell cerdan walker lamotta hagler are some i rate over hopkins..in the top 12 or so..and thats not a shame by any means..hes a great in a division of greats .

[Detroit Cobra]

Hopkins is definitely an all-time great at middleweight. I don't know about the top one ever... Hagler was better, IMO, but Hop could be right up there. He could be thrown into an argument with anybody, pfp, in the middleweight division.

[QueensburyRules]

Top 4 all time

Greb
Hagler
Monzon
Hopkins


he was top 4 before tonight anyway

you cant argue with winning. The guy has ruled the division for 10 years and has made 19 defenses

- -I ain't "you," so gonna tell you Poppy don't belong on your list.

Greb, Marv, and Monzon were truly great.

He stands in the conventional stance. Hagler southpaw.

- -Roy didn't go out flat on his back squalling like a baby for his bottle, Popkins did.

Mo' shame for the shameless.
