    Hopkins wasn't near peak for his fight with Jones. The Hopkins of '99

    doesn't draw with Mercado no matter what country their fighting

    in. Jones biggest claim to fame is his domination over a weight drained

    Toney. The funny thing Jones said Toney was just making

    excuses and everyone knows it's a big advantage to fight at a lower

    weight. He used that same excuse 10 years later against Tarver

    Many guys carried power, Fitzsimmons Knocked out HW's on a skinny frame no more than 170 or so, same for several others, Hearns at WW he could knock out anyone, Duran an awesome P4P guy and great defense and awesome chin, was easily put out by hearns, that 1fight says it all about his power, He Hurt Hagler in round 1, actually staggers him a bit, but he recovered very fast.

    Top 3 for me are probably

    Sam Langford
    Bob Fitzsimmons
    Max Baer

    Then afterwards I've split ends between McClellan and Jackson.
    Hearns is probably around 8/9
