Is Bernard Hopkins a top 30 All-Time Great

Harada clearly outranks Pacquiao despite Pacquio's weight jumping which seems to have clouded everyone's judgement.

 

Thank you very much

 

Haugen would be a great example, otherwise he didn't do much in-fighting in the other 3 fights, therefore no, they wouldn't be better examples of his inside skills. Brazier was a very experienced, crafty veteran whom Whitaker thoroughly outclassed and put on a clinic of in-fighting against, whereas Jones was larger, harder puncher whom Jones out-fought in close throughout most of the fight and generally gave a beating. Never said they were great fighters, just great displays from Pea, particularly the Brazier bout, which was virtually a flawless performance.

 

No. He's set inside the top 50 for me, I could see him cracking the top 40 as of the moment, but I haven't recently made a list that goes that far.

 

He was robbed against Joe and has never been beaten convincingly.

 

No, not top 30 for me.

 

In every sport the athletes have improved vastly over the years due to diet training conditioning and genetics so you can only judge on how they performed in their own era's.I dont buy that nearly all the best fighters fought in the 60's and 70's and were mostly American.All this tells me is that the original people who make these lists are also American and in there 50' and 60's themselves because they have such a fond memory of those era's.

 

An undefeated Vince Phillips.

 

There's just too many greats with a body of work built up against tougher fighters in tougher era's to go top 30.
