    Julio Cesar Chavez is my favorite fighter of all time. How would you rate him in the all time category?

    Hopkins has been my favorite since about 1999/2000. How would you rate him in the all time category?

    and who's legacy is better?

    JCC is top 20 for sure.

    Hopkins, I am not sure, but if he gets another career defining victory he is knocking in that area.

    JCC has the edge, both men in top 50, JCC in top 25.

    We recently had a thread in the classic forum about who ranks higher Chavez or Arguello. The poll was incredibly close. That probably means most people would rank Chavez above Hopkins.

    Chavez is greater than Hopkins but both are ATGs.

    Im not sure where Hopkins ranks but he is not top 10 all time - I have Chavez at no8 personally.
