I want an insite into the mind of those rating Bernard Hopkins amongst the top 5 P4P

Wright looked like **** vs Sam Soliman. A guy that Mundine thrashed and KO'd. Wright is overrated at this point. Not only that, he was pulled way above his natural weight to fight Hopkins.

Dont get me wrong, they are class fighters, but its getting ridiculous, and as you say, they need to fight prime fighters soon.

 

out of topic, but i noticed you have mijares among your top 5. who do you think wins in a potential christian mijares - martin castillo fight?? imo the no.s 1 & 2 at super fly. castillo is among my favorite fighters right now, and this is among my potential great match ups at super fly (one of the best deep divisions today imo).

 

grabbing a title in a 5th weightclass whilst remaining undefeated should mean something. skillswise nobody touches floyd (uh.... ok. maybe except calzaghe ). so with those factors he is p4p number 1 in my eyes.

pacman did look bad against marquez, larios and solis. plus he lost to morales in their first encounter. sure he knocked out morales in the succeeding fights but there is a strong indication that pac fought a shot morales.

 

I still give PBF great credit for beating Oscar even out of his prime. They are both 5-0 in their last 5 fights, even though he struggled early with Zab I like that because it shows you how he can adjust to something. Pac had impressive victories against Morales, but I don't think it was the best Morales, taking nothing away from Pac I still give PBF the edge as pfp king.

 

if bernard manages to dominate an opponent even without his arms then he should definately be top 1.:good

 

amsterdam i think mijares is way too high at #3. hes done absolutely nothing if you take away that arce fight.

 

Don't know if Castillo will fight him to be honest. Mijarez is scary.

But I'd go Mijarez stoppage on cuts(Castillo gets opened up easy).

 

He is in the top 10 easy, some have him in the top 5, I would probably put him right outside of the top five... But top 10 for sure.

 

Still, how many of those great fighters have accomplished what he has?? As long as he is still pulling off wins against elite fighters, I don't see why not.:yep

 

i like castillo, but i figured as much. close fight, but 6-4 on the cards. mijares is too long for castillo to outbox, even with his good boxing techniqe. still a fight i'd like to see

 

Just by looking at resumes you could see Calzaghe can't hold Hopkins' jockstrap.

 

Well thats why P4P and H2H are different.... He has still got one of the best resumes, and pulling off wins against great fighters. That is above the people who havn't fully proven themselves.

 

take resume away and i do admit bernard hopkins wont make top 10. but thats not the way p4p works. because if thats the case floyd and joe calzaghe D ) are top 1 and 2 unanimously.
