What makes Hopkins so great?

He is at the top for long long long long time,
and its doubtfull he will be exposed like Jones (chin) or Toney (fat).

 

Dominance, consistency, dedication.

 

:huh How did Toney get exposed as being fat? I think his gained girth was pretty obvious as it gradually developed.

 

After he got fat its just slide down for him ...
Peter outboxing the best old school fighter?

 

He was dominant at one weight division for a long time. It's something you don't tend to get enough credit for these days IMHO.

 

Great? :think I don't know if we can call him great at this point . . . I'd rather call him exceptional.

Primarily because of what he has accomplished.

. . . . his fighting skills and ring smartness.
. . . . his discipline.

 

Not only did he win and dominate in the ring - but he did it his way outside of the ring. He got to where he's at mainly on his own - while everyone else used big name promoters and networks.

B-Hop is a beast - one of a kind - a slick talker that speaks his mind. That man deserves all the credit he's starting to get.

There's probably a bunch of other reasons he's Great - but these are some of the reasons that he stands out from the rest of the fighters.

 

He gives some great interviews too :good

 

Even though his style can be ugly (and dirty at times) he wins the big ones.

 

Nicely put. :good

 

I thought he was great already before Trinidad. For him to accomplish what he did after the age of 35 is just amazing.

His shiny teeth and extensive baseball card collection.

 

Clinching, grabbing and headbutting, all what boxing America loves
