    Hopkins is just long lasting, there are plenty of fighters who were a class above him in their primes.

    In Hopkins's prime, he was fantastic. In the late 90's that is. And no, Kostya Tszyu was certainly not class above, or even in the same class as Hopkins.

    Im going to be different
    1. Morales - one of the most exciting fighters of this era.
    2. Barrera - Also very exciting
    3. Roy Jones Jr. - Was almost unbeatable in his prime
    4. Trinidad-ODH - Its a toss up between these two. YOu gotta admit everyone wanted to watch both of these guys
    5. Floyd Mayweather - its hard to rank him here since i am not a fan of his due to his choice of opponents for the last few years.
