Following his unaminous decision victory over Winky Wright last weekend, how does that affect your all-time placing of Hopkins at MW? (if at all...) My current ATG rankings, based on a whole mix of factors (legacy, head-to-head, defences etc): 1. Hagler 2. Greb 3. Monzon 4. Hopkins 5. Robinson (Top 2 at WW) 6. Jones Jr 7. Ketchell 8. Cerdan 9. Griffith 10. Walker That was tough, but there ya go. Incidently he stays at #4 on my list, though strengthens that standing. :bbb
I'm terrible at making lists, but the fight was not at middleweight, so what a guy does at light heavyweight has no bearing on his all-time middleweight standing. My top five (in no order) at MW would probably be Greb, Hagler, Monzon, Robinson, and Hopkins. I dunno about the rest of the list and they're always subject to changes. Roy's short stay @ 160 prevents him from being ranked that high, IMO.
Probably Armstrong. They're top 2 at WW, even though Armstrong was usually officially a lightweight defending his WW title.
