    I hear you.

    Although it's worth pointing out that Foreman may have reigned until Holmes if that Ali thing hadn't happened.

    Hopkins
    Calzaghe
    Wright
    Trinidad

    If you switch Tarver and Eubank, I think that would be the order in which I would list them.

    Your thread is a bull**** comparison. To me its backfired for you Rumsfield, youve just re-iterated that 2 of B-Hops best wins Wright & Felix where far smaller men. Nice job.

    And also, Lacy & Kessler have the potential to go into the top 3rd of the list (only Kesser will though).

    Another analysis through the eyes of a simpleton. Well done!

    :lol::lol::lol::lol:

    It seems much more likely that each will 'drop' in stature as time goes by. Neither was anything special.

    As for Trindiad and Wright being "small", this is nothing more than a pathetic attempt by Calzaghe fans to overcompensate his own lack of credentials.

    Trinidad was middleweight champion and a 4:1 betting favorite when Hopkins annhilated him. He had just easily dispatched of William Joppy, and nobody--I mean NOBODY was giving Hops much of a chance.

    As for Winky, he was universally recognized as a P4P elite when Hopkins outclassed him.

    You are one of the biggest simpletons here, your nuthuggery of B-Hop & dismissive manner of some other fighters is quite embarassing. You are one of those who - no matter what you write and if you back up your statements - will never look past their own judgements. Well done.

    I'll happily debate the merits of any fighter you choose.

    I'm not even a Hopkins fan. I like Hopkins and Calzaghe, but the rampant disregard for Hopkins' greatness on this site is nothing short of laughable.

    I can agree that yes, B-Hop's reign gets wrongfully dismissed by some, but i stand by my argument that it is not worthy enough of making him a top 3 MW of all time.:hat

    I've never argued that Hopkins was a top 3 MW of all-time. What's your point?
