    The poll just shows how fickle US fight fans are.

    I'm 99% sure, if you took this poll pre-RJJ-Calzaghe you would find most people saying RJJ Legacy is better than Bhop. In fact look back at the countless other threads similar to this and you'll see what I'm talking about....most people said RJJ had a better Legacy.

    Not US fight fans. You mean casual fans. Those same fans are the same guys that now think Joe Calzaghe is an ATG.

    So Pavlik is naturally smaller than BHop too now?

    Well BHop himself said he should stick to 160 for now... he's not ready to fight the bigger guys.... in fact everytime Pavlik has fought over 160 he's looked pretty bad....or maybe I should say not as good as he does at 160. BTW, I give BHop credit for his big wins including Tito (who destroyed Joppy) and Pavlik.

    If RJJ had retired after the Ruiz fight, then I probably would have said RJJ. However, considering what they're both done in the twilight of their careers, I would go with Hop.

    I'm going Hopkins pound for pound.

    However, head to head in a pound for pound list Jones ranks higher.

    Both men have earned spots near the absolute top of any all-time lists, and it is still unfolding.
