    "Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Alexis Arguello and me.”

    Well there you go.

    Not an unreasonable list. Hopkins is the oldest man to ever be a champion. Longest reigning middleweight champion.
    He is in the discussion for anyone's top lists.

    Yeah, far from the worst list ever but Hopkins top 5 all time is a stretch for most.

    With same-day weigh-ins, all would be roughly the same weight class, give or take ten, seventy pounds.

    only Robinson and Ali can be in a top 5.

    Hagler and Arguello are a stretch, and putting himself in there is a humorous massive stretch

    In no order.. SRR, Greb, Langford, Charles, Armstrong, Ross, Walker..

    That's my top 7 that i settled on many moons ago.. but a top 10 is something i struggle with.. there's about another 5 other fighters i think are all worthy of it & i interchange them regularly , but my top 7 is a lock.

    I know this sub would choke in disgust at some the picks here but these p4p lists are so subjective.

    Most boxing lists are subjective, even simple current day rankings.

    The one aspect of Hopkins that impresses me the most is his humility.
