Where does Hopkins rank in terms of ATG fighters?

well.................I'm back off to the classic

 

Outgunned ay?...Well then holster those pistols partner Ive had enough.

Any guy who says a fighter was SPARKED CLEAN OUT by another but then says that doesnt mean he was knocked out obviously can not be argued with.


Jerry Quarry proved himself far better then most of those guys you listed...thats just how it is partner. :gun

Boxing rec? ...how cute.

 

He picked the wrong two Hombres to debate with:rofl

 

Still waiting to find out how he did that, cowboy!

 

B-Hop would rank in my top 20-25, world class fighter and he's fought the best!

 

Top 30 please:good

 

Yeah my spurs are shaking!

Quarry who didn't win a title, caught punches for fun and doesn't have one elite fighter on his resume in the win catagory is a better fighter than Tarver, Pavlik etc. Okay then!

I take it he would be champion today right and number six pound for pound? Put your tissues away and quit the nostalgia ****!

 

Ta much. I think Mayweather was outstanding at 130 and 135 and his achievements above these weights aren't as shabby as some make out, also I'm not convinced that Spinks should have got the decision over Holmes in either fight which is why PBF is above him. I'm currently fannying about with my 51-100 which is murder, got one that I'm reasonably pleased with though.

What placings are you debating about?

 

tito,de la hoya where really welterweights,johnson was green,tarver was coming down from 200lbs after filming,pavlik was fighting well out of his weight,dont get me wrong its a credit to him to be still competing at 45 but to say he is all time top 20 is crazy,he also got a questionable decision over winky at 170 which is way above anywhere winky fought

 

You're wasting your time on here, get on the Classic forum :good

 

That seems like a fair placement. My first instinct was top 30 but, while trying to compile a top 50, I realised that might be overrating B-Hop slightly. Somewhere around the 40 mark seems right.

 

Who should he have beat at the same time? Who did he avoid?

Tito was a middleweight belt holder and a red hot favourite. I agree with Oscar.

Johnson was green? Perhaps but has he been stopped since?

Tarver having to lose weight is too bad, he made the weight and got his ass kicked at 175 by a man who had rarely fought above 160.

Questionable decision over Winky Wright? He kicked his ass!

Pavlik had fought at 168lbs and thought he could pick on an old guy but was mentally ruined for life.

We live in a world of catch weight fights. Look at Pacquaio! Hopkins is a legend - CASE CLOSED!

Not to cause an argument. But I'm interested as to why holyfield is above lewis on your list?

 

Overall a good list, I would just like to point out the major flaws in it - in my oppinion of course.

 

You know of Holyfield's cw career and his resume there, right? That put's him above Lewis. At hw it's a different story.
