    No brainer. The funny thing is that nobody would have ever taken notice of this guy if he hadn't gotten to Trinidad when he did. It's likely that he would have fought a few more obscure middleweights and then retired without much fanfare.

    Jones
    Calzaghe
    Wright
    Trinidad
    Tarver
    Johnson
    Taylor
    DLH
    Jackson
    Eastman

    He fought Roy competively, lost close decisions to Taylor and Calzaghe. Beat Wright pretty clearly, and whooped the rest. Sounds like an ATG to me.

    Hopkins is still one of the best fighters of his generation. His style may be an acquired taste, but he deserves the HOF and ATG recognition.

    I'd like to see another fighter be this good at 43 years.

    I voted against it because the guy is a cheat, and he cant attak. All he can do is counter.

    Thats not great boxing skill that is with anything
