    should i answer which would add more to his legacy to me or which would add more to his legacy in the long run with the boxing fans in general.

    To me Chad Dawson would enhance it best. A young fighter in his prime and seemingly very good and who has already beaten Adamek. But there's a risk attached to that cause Dawson could (but probably wont) turn out to be a relative dud.

    But in general and in the long run moving up to CW to become undisputed champ in his third weight class would be the best thing. (Although it is disputed by Guillermo Jones, the media would crown him undisputed champ, like they practically have done with Adamek)

    Tough call, in a certain sense all are equally valueless to Hopkins. Winning one of these, or any of these, would be a parlor trick by his standards. This, as of right here and now, and where all these guys are at, that is.

    Don't confuse it even more :D, I was originally going to put resume rather than legacy.

    I suppose you could also add into the equation which of those are most likely to go on to great things... maybe confusing it more... perhaps it's best to take them as now.

    Vote however you like.

    Anyway which boxer do you yourself think adds more and which will the general fans think so, iyo?

    Agree that a W over Adamek at 200lbs would look the most impressive when you look back at his career

    Cool.

    Yea I'd have to go with one of those two. Dawson is possibly the better fighter, but that CW title would add a fair bit of kudos.

    Adamek is winning another title at a higher division. He beats Dawson people will say so what, Dawson was overrated.
