    If B-Hop were to hang them up tomorrow, where would he rank all-time?

    Top 50, maybe higher. I'd have to give it some thought.

    Assuming you mean p4p, I would say somewhere between 50 and 60. Defending a belt 20 times is impressive, however not all of those defenses were against the best opposition. He held the Ring middleweight belt for a few defenses, and does have wins over a couple of future hall of famers. And of course, his recent exploits at light heavy, while over the age of 40.

    I think 50-60 is about right, given his accomplishments, strength of opposition, and longevity.

    As for all-time middleweight rankings, he makes my top ten.

    Hopkins is a first rate racist.

    I went gut instinct 71-80 though he'd move up 70 places should he come close to beating Calzaghe

    The real question is what will Bhop's ranking be if he beats Joe C. Let's assume he does. No wise ass comments that it wont happen. Just assuming.

    Top 10-20 lock? Possibly within the top 10?

    Props to Hops for realizing that the race card sells.

    Anywhere from 30-50 IMO. I will re-examine after he fights Calzaghe.
