    He did. And they were both spectacular knockouts. But he beat Reggie like nobody else ever did. He toyed with him like he was nothing. I think doing that was just as impressive.

    It's hard for me to put them in order.

    I think Reggie has to be in his top 7 wins.

    I personally think it's easy to choose 7 wins out of his top 10.

    It's the remaining 3 places that are difficult.

    7 is fine. I just think Griffin and Hill were definitely better wins and Harding was a better opponent.

    Eric Harding gave him a very tough fight.

    if John Ruiz is one of your top wins how bad is your resume? Think about that for a minute. :lol:

    Yeah, I'm sure a MW beating a HW has no bearing on that. Dumbass.

    I like this list. But I would probably replace Hopkins with Hill.

    A former MW beating a top 10 HW?

    Yeah, happens all the time you clown.

    Yeah, the Griffin or Hill wins were better.

    He has a solid 7 wins though.

    I find it hard listing his top 10.

    The last 3 places are quite difficult to fill.

    You’ve got Harding, Castro, Malinga and Woods etc.

    Hill was still rated 3rd by the Ring to close 1997 so there's a case.

    5 fights where he didn't get hit squarely on the chin...
