    Hopkins is a defensive genius and to be doing what he's doing at 45 YEARS OLD is crazy ! Also look who he's done it against he's beat a who's who of stars of the 00's.. De La Hoya, Trinidad, Pavlik, Wright, Tarver, throw in the whole Middleweight title defense record and it's just unreal.

    Thought this was a cool highlight video...

    He is defenitely up there with the best but he aint the fighter of the decade. That belongs to the winner of pac-mayweather showdown.

    I say Hopkins might be number 3, right behind Mayweather Jr. and Pacquiao.

    probably...even though he beat up on welterweights DLH and Trinidad
    junior middleweight Winky Wright
    junior middleweight carl daniels
    beat the worst middleweight EVER in Morrade Hakka
    fought Robert Allen for 3rd time
    Joppy was a decent win, even though trinidad KOd him a year earlier
    Lost to taylor 2 times and Joe 1 time. props for at least fighting the best

    but he did have good solid wins over Keith Holmes, Tarver and Pavlik

    Trinidad was a good win. You even contradicted yourself a bit with these statements.

    Pac is fighter of the year 3 times in the 00s. No other fighter has more than one.

    I felt sorry for him towards the end of the Calzaghe fight. Seeing such a proud man in a pitiful state of desperation made me feel very sad.

    Legend nevertheless.
