    He would have a solid case for the top 20-25, IMO.

    he's top 40 now, so maybe 30-33, somewhere in there.

    Hopkins resume is crazy, but top 25-30 probably sounds right!

    Top 20 if he could beat Dawson! Dawson would be his greatest victory and not Pavlik who only had a punchers chance!

    The thing about these list is you have to remember most of the old time greats they didn't only box they had regular jobs as well and how much better have athletes gotten so no matter what it is just theory.

    benny leonard deserves to be listed twice in the top 15 if it means Hopkins would be taking his place.
