    he is a great fighter that lost to Taylor twice. I respect what he is done but I am not about to say I like him because I dont like the way he fights

    Where do you have Floyd in your top 15 since he is better than Hopkins?

    hey thats your choice
    he fought everyone there but yea i agree the division wasnt very good
    true he does have a bag of dirty tricks,but he also has alot of skills
    well his 2 loses to Taylor were debatable,he did start to late in the 1st fight but he rocked Taylor and had him hurt and ready to go a few times,in The Calzaghe fight it was very close,but i do think Joe won

    Calzaghe nowhere near owned him..he won yes but did not own him

    agree

    I think Hopkins resume is better then Floyds and you have to factor i his longevity..Floyd is not far off and if he beats Guerrero,then fights the Trout-Canelo winner and wins the ring title there then his ranking would increase

    Nothing but respect for Hopkins. The man is pushing 50 and is still fighting at a championship level. Very few in sports history have been able to compete at a high level at 48+

    Future HOF'ers and the 10-20 or so "top P4P fighters" certainly are.

    I think Hopkins is one of the few fighters who is allowed to cherry pick.

    Hopkins story and adversities are inspiring. He really needs the movie treatment once his career is over.
