    Hopkins couldn't hold Tommy's spit bucket.H2H Hearns would have smashed BHops turtle shell.

    Hearns fought and beat more ATG's. Hearns ranks higher.

    Hopkins isnt done yet, people should remember that. Things may change from here until Hopkins visits Canastota. I wouldnt be surprised if he does something crazy before now and then... A trip upto CW is likely, and I would have him as favourite going in there with Adamek. I also heard that Haye/Hopkins may happen at HW if Haye picks up a belt there. Personally I think Haye/Hopkins at HW would be a BAD idea for BHop!!! Thats alot of weight to put in any time of life, but at his age, it could end real bad!!

    Woah, I voted Hearns as well but it isnt laughable, Hopkins is great in his own right and has earned a comparison at least.

    Hearns.
    was chinnier but cleaner.
    hopkins' tactics help him to protect his chin that is overrated.
    remember mercado knocked him down twice in one fight , and hopkins still got a draw.
    hearns' oposition was much tougher.
    he was somewhat ballsier in choosing it.
    hearns fought 147-190 , hopkins 160-175.
    this consideration works for hearns in p4p meanings.
    Not an absurd comparison but hearns wins.

    Yep, if Hopkins were to beat Adamek or Dawson well I'd have to put him in front.
