Mosley,Trinidad,De La Hoya,Morales-Barrera..Hall of Famers but a Cut Below the Greats

And what do you think about Hopkins or Roy? Do they belong to "The Greats"? I tend to think Hopkins does, to be frank.

 

i would disagree. in 1999-2001 it certainly looked like they would be but both tito and oscar simply lost too many times. trinidad lost to the 3 best opponents he ever faced (save for an ancient whitaker) and his performance against vargas, while thrilling, was aided in part by having his radar aimed at el feroz's balls. oscar i love and talent wise, from 135-147 he was one of the best i've ever seen. but he needed to prove it...consistently against the best. he couldn't. i'm not a mayweather fan much anymore, too much bull**** and posturing and not enough fighting. but he's above both now i feel.

 

both do i feel. hopkins for a number of reasons. roy for his run from 160-175, being fighter of the decade and top 3 pound for pound for at least 6 years, usually number 1. roy's possibly the most naturally gifted fighter of all time and until he slipped past his prime, he proved it; albeit, against lesser calibre competition

 

that's your opinion since floyd is the flavor of the month but wait until his career is over and people have time to digest it and make a better well thought opinion and you'll see how he'll go down on everyones lists
