    I'd have to say yes. If he beats Hopkins I think it would solidfy his greatness.

    At least, he was much more exciting than Mayweather lately.

    I think he's only lost once, to Vasquez.

    I had him beating Simon and Taylor and had his fight with Vargas a draw.

    Hence he should have one loss and one draw to his name in my books.

    He has been consistently solid for over a whole decade, and though he may be just outside the top 100 all time right now, a win over Hopkins could get him in that bracket, assuming Hopkins isn't a shell of what he showed against Tarver.

    Undoubtably a hall of famer.

    Not sure what you're getting at, Pea v Winky wasn't even mentioned, but just for the record I'd take Winky via close decision.

    What's really funny though is you fancying your looks enough to put that gay ass avatar up :good

    Wright is definitely an all time great based on skill and ring accomplishments. He would give any hall of famer a difficult fight.

    ATG? No way. Hall of Famer? Maybe but I doubt it. There are many guys who will make it in the Hall before him. He is a solid fighter and a great resume. What is his signature fight?

    He'll be lucky to get into the hall of fame to be honest.

    He's a hall of famer that's for sure, and he was a great boxer. But a ATG...I don't know if I'd go that far. Well...maybe he was ducked for a lot of years, by most of the best fighters of his time. So I can't really hold that against him. Umm, yeah I guess I could consider him to be a all time great.

    He beat Mosley twice (an ATG), schooled Trinidad , and as far as I'm concerned he beat Taylor. He should at the very least be considered Hall of Fame material
