    Check out Hopkins middleweight reign challengers. Doesn't stop the Yanks kissing his jockstrap.

    Oh course he is arguably has the most technical KO 's of any boxer

    Doesn't commit punches

    And has a murderous row of defenses ,like Mario Viet not once but twice or the ever so dangerous all time great feather fisted Salem .Lets not forget the ever so great Tucker Podwil ..The list of names on his resume is a who 's who ..When people ask did you see that fight with Calzaghe and this guy fans immediately say WHO ?

    OP is right he is the greatest fighter of the past 25 yrs

    Hopkins reign is MUCH better than calzaghes.

    example - Hopkins beats up the dangerous prime antwun echols, whom calzaghe avoided like the plague despite pretending he was interested, and instead, joe fights...... an about to retire guy who was destroyed by echols.And joe still needed to be saved by his Cardiff setup ref to avoid that opponent stopping him in round 1.
    AND THAT WAS ONE OF CALZIPPYS BEST OPPONENTS EVER.

    a little later, echols gets maimed by gunshot, and suddenly joe pretends to want to fight him again, but instead, on noticing echols is still pretty goos, joe instead fights.... tocker pudwill.
    and meanwhile, Hopkins is fighting .... holmes, Trinidad, de la hoya.

    the difference is palpable, even on planet calturd.

    Whipped Lacy, Manfredo, Bika, prime Kessler, Hopkins and a rejuvenated Jones who had just beaten Trinidad. He did all that after reigning over the Supermiddleweight division for years as undefeated champ. He went to foreign soil to get his victory over Hopkins, who he both defeated and humiliated. Hopkins at one point was reduced to faking low blows to get a respite from Joe's relentless pressure. Hopkins will never live that down. Then he caps off his career by out boxing the great Roy Jones Jr once again on foreign soil. Definitely one of the best fighters that ever donned boxing gloves but of course underrated. We all know why.
