    I can't think of anyone I've seen who seems to have mastered the game as well as Hopkins, including his crafty techniques. Any suggestions I could look at? Boxers that rely more on whats up here, than their physical gifts... Mayweather is another good example but he is very fast too.

    Can't knock B'hops for making ppl fight his fight thats for sure.

    Whitaker gets my vote though.

    Toney has/had sick skills shame he used them mostly for ordering another round of Big Kahuna Burgers.

    Roy Jones is one I would completely disagree with, look how shot he is since he lost his speed and reflexes...

    i think he meant great boxers who rely more on their brain than their physical attributes. I agree with hopkins. Speed - average, power - good, agility - average etc. But still one of the best. a boxing genius.

    Toney. As much as I like and admire Hopkins he does tend to run from his opponents at times.
