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

    As much as I admire Bhop's ringcraft it's hard to put him above FMJ and RJJ. Hope Bhop can pick up a SD win, Can't see him winning by KO/TKO. He's too cunning to get KO'D by Pascal. Could be good fight...

    Valid point about b-hop thinking pascal more beatble but cherry picking. This is by no means an easy fight assface

    No, it would be a good win but not a surprising win.

    I disagree on that one but I can understand where you are coming from to be honest, hopkins has a very underrated resume.

    H2H I rate Jones higher.

    On accomplishments, I already favour Hopkins's accomplishments over the other two. In my Top Ten ranking of the last decade, Hopkins (2)was one placed ahead of Floyd (3). If he captures the LHW title against Pascal, that would CERTAINLY put him ahead of both FMJ and RJJ in terms of "greatness"

    Sounds to me like intelligent matchmaking, but I'm guessing you're one of those guys that loves to call fighters cowards and cherrypickers, so go ahead. Bet that hatorade tastes bitter.
