    1) The first true undisputed champ. No one else in history has held the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and Ring Mag. belt all at the same time.

    2) He's defended his World middleweight title over a record 20 fights.

    3) The Oldest man to win a legitimate World title at the age of 46.

    4) Besides a prime roy and being too old for Dawson, he has never truly convincingly lost a fight.

    5) He has upsetted numerous PRIME top fighters while being a past primed underdog.

    6) King of Controversy: burns a PR flag IN PR! makes openly racist comments on NATIONAL TV!


    Bow Down Bitches.

    I personally don't think Calzaghe was a close fight. But agree with everything else.

    Greatest thread of all time:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl
    that said, Hopkins is my favorite fighter and I think he could hold his own against any fighter that stepped in a ring. and he kicked calzaghe's ass pretty easily.

    His resume is all smoke and mirrors as far as I'm concerned.
