    BHop definitely merits inclusion in that conversation.

    Archie is one followed by Hopkins and Foreman.

    everything was thought out with Hopkins, even his exact plans on how to have a fight tactic. A brilliant tactician. Probably the best that way, in a different way than Ray Leonard, but similar.. Ray knew he had to go through Benitez, Duran, Hearns and Hagler. Hopkins thought lesser level if there is one, but a similar mindset.. Neither guy took great chances if the could lose, but they knew what they could and could not do.
