Who was P4P number one at the most advanced age.

[rekcutnevets]

Hopkins didn't lose a round to Trinidad. He as a 4-1 underdog in that fight.

The judges had him winning every round against Glenn Johnson.
Judges only had him giving up one or two against Council.
He was winning every round against Brown.
Only lost one round of the Allen rematch.
Gave up only one or two to Echols.
Lost between 1-3 rounds to Keith Holmes.
Daniels and Hakkar managed to win 0 rounds againt him.
Managed to drop 2 rounds to Vanderpool.
Managed to lose a round against Joppy.

The only other fighters he faced in the last decade were Oscar, Taylor, and Tarver.

It looks like winning around 10 out of every 12 rounds is the norm for Hopkins.

In the context of this thread, those wins are irrelevant. They were a long time ago when Roy Jones ruled supreme. Hopkins was a better fighter back then than he has been more recently, but never a true P4P number one at any point in history.

8. Victor Galindez
9. Miguel Canto
10. Alfonso Lopez

Intresting....

I suppose Monzon and Duran are tough to split; 76 Ali was comming off the Thrilla; Zarate and Arguello are fine there; People were into the hype of Zamaro at the time; Canto I have no problem with; Lopez does not deserve his place; Conteh and Galindez show a slight bias towards Brits, but they are not far wrong.

Depending when in 76 this list was written, no Cerventas or his conqueror that years Benitez? Suprised Stracey or his conqueror Palomino cannot find a place. Apart from that maybe DeJesus or Valdez could sneak a place, as they only lost to the top two fighters; at the time Valdez closely (if the list was done after June) and DeJesus was 1 and 1 with Duran.
