    How do you mean? The most accomplished fighters since that time or the fighters who have shown the most ability during that span? For example, Duran was past his best after 1980, but the peak he showed during that year was higher than any fighter has since achieved. So again I aks ya, how do you mean?

    I really don't see how this can be justified any longer. (yeh yeh, I got a Hopkins avatar, I am an absolute tool and unworthy of a response)
