    Who do you believe had the best 160 title run out out of Hagler, Monzon or Hopkins based purely on competition faced. I don't know much about Monzon or Hagler (besides the big wins) level of competition as a champ and was wondering how they compare to Hopkins defences.

    Monzon, Hopkins Hagler.

    Just by title run.

    Monzon Hagler Hopkins by quality of fighter.

    Why no mention of Kelly Pavlik? He's beaten three ATGs in Lockett, Espino and Rubio already.

    Would you consider a MW champion who defended his titles over the last 3 years against C and D level competition having a good run??!!

    On quality of opposition Hopkins has no chance. Domination, ability and longevity are his only claims to fame at 160.

    Gary Locket was an established and long term WBU champion, so i'm shocked he wasnt in your list.

    Hopkins best win came against Trinidad. That's not good enough when comparing it to Hagler and Monzon. Vanderpool, Echols, Holmes and THAT De La Hoya fight don't cut the mustard.

    And I found him to be like a sleeping tablet when he fought sometimes.

    It doesn't help that Tito and the Golden Boy weren't even Middleweights.
