If Hopkins beats Pascal, will you rank him higher than Roy and Floyd?

    Jones was the best of his generation.

    But if Hokins defeats PAscal, he' have narrowed the gap.

    More interesting is if Hopkins wins the Ring title, will Calzaghe consider a rematch.

    No. That is not more interesting. Who cares about Calzaghe he is a whole level beneath Mayweather, Pacquiao, Jones, and Hopkins.

    I already rank Hopkins above Floyd but not RJJ. Pascal is not on either man's level so I don't see how a win over him would have Hops over Jones. I'm a big fan of all three so it isn't a big deal for me.

    On a sidenote I got RJJ's set recently...LOVE IT!!!

    I have them ranked that way also but it's not a question of how good Pascal is. He is THE man at 175 and BHOP is a dinosaur. It makes the win much greater than just how good the opponent is. It'd be huge.

    Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of Pascal but I'd be damned if he's gonna invade my country lol. I agree that beating Pascal would be huge because this would be the second time Hops beat the man @ 175 since Tarver. Not only that but the age disparity is huge like 15 years. Hopkins & Martinez are big inspirations for me as I'm beginning boxing late and want to succeed even at an older age too.

    i will rank him ahead of Mayweather, which he probably already is. No I won't rate him higher than Jones. Pascal has 1 win aginst Dawson, if he furthers his career and picks up more wins it will be better. But like i said Pascal has 1 good win that's it.

    When Hopkins beats Pascal easily in December he'll have to get one more good win and i'll put Roy Jones and Hopkins on the same pedestal.

    If Hopkins gets two more good wins after Pascal then he rates higher than Jones.
