    No way in hell.

    HOPKINS performance in the Trinidad fight was legendary.

    Come on.

    His performance in the Kessler fight was his finest 36 mins. :nod

    Better than Lacy, better than Hopkins.

    That was a beautiful performance :nod

    Joe Calzage is the greatest fighter to ever fight in the 168 lbs weight class of all times actually

    So you believe Zaggers was more prime than B Hop. His very next time out B Hop took Pavlik to school. :nod

    Don't know. Hopkins wasn't prime. His performance against tito was legendary. That takes a dump on everything Joe did in his career.

    Yes, he does. He also ranks higher than Mayweather. Mayweather stayed home his whole career. Calzaghe crossed the pond.

    JLC beat Floyd, just not on paper. No one beat Calzaghe.:deal

    You're overrated Tito. Wright school Tito without the dirty stuff.

    Short answer: no. Hopkins was more effective in more weight classes and fought the better opposition.
