    Scoop really is ******ed.

    But, Hopkins is an ATG tbf, and would give any middleweight in history problems. Light Heavy too. You know you're bad when you can claim that.

    B-hop is at best a top 5 middleweight of all time to put him anywhere in the top 50 p4p of all time is insane

    Yep :verysad

    I do have him higher than most in MW rankings, but as far as All time P4P, I have him at about 20 - 25

    I agree a modern great could certainly be the GOAT and were in the minority thinking that especially on ESB but it certainly isnt B-hop. Had he won both Taylor and pascal fights as well as Calzaghe, fought and beat Toney at SMW and rematched Jones in the 90s and one a legit cruiser title, then I could accept and possibly agree with people putting him in the top 10.

    I agree with the people on this thread, Benard is good, but I feel the Sugar Ray Robinson did it better and Archie Moore. Both had long ageless careers and both were very sucessful well into their forties.
