    I realise Hopkins didn't make all his defences in the 21st century but his signature win vs Trinidad was in the 21st century.

    For me, Roy winning a hw belt. Ya I know it was against Ruiz, but still a huge challenge, he proved he was p4p the best.

    Hopkins run @ LHW. Out of the 9 title fights he has had at thhe weight, he was only favored to win 2. those 9 fihs include a NC with Dawson and The Ring Magazine belt against Tarver and Calzaghe.

    None of the above. It is clearly Tyson Fury's ability to withstand his own monstrous uppercut to his own face and live to tell the tale.

    I think the top 3 are, Manny and 8 weight divisions - against some top opponents too, Jones Jr at heavyweight - he completely skipped cruiser, and Hopkins being the oldest.

    The others - the opposition is nothing too special. With regards to Mayweather, we say 'it's nothing Oscar De La Hoya couldn't do'.

    Hopkin's MW opposition was nothing special either, it's not like Monzon level.

    Wladmir's 16 title defenses, but how many were actually good fighters? I can only count a couple. It doesn't beat Joe Louis's 25 title defences either.
