    You just said there wasn't any footage, now you clearly show footage of the man. Were you insinuating that there was no legitimate footage, as all that's available is him light sparring with an ancient Jack O'Brien? If that's the case why bring it up now as if it proves something when it goes directly against your initial views? And I'm shooting myself in the foot?

    Take a break Dane, you're pathetic. Truly.

    I can't understand how Ray Robinson is getting ranked behind Hopkins

    Hopkins is clearly between 5-7, nothing more

    He should get credit for Tito, if Hagler gets credit for Leonard, Hearns and Duran etc...

    Tito was Hopkins's best win as a MW really. The win over Oscar on the other hand was hardly even notable aside from the name recognition.

    Fair enough, he has a good record against a lot of credible fighters though Glen Johnson, Holmes, Joppy, Lipsey, Eastman, Echols were all solid contenders and credible wins. He fought duds as do most long reigning champs but he def has some solid defences there.

    wtf!

    robinson was at his best at WW its a well known fact,greb is one of the greatest p4p fighters ever though defo a top 5 middleweight,hagler and monzon are dead certs but id rate guys like mickey walker and mike mccallum much higher than hopkins,hopkins doesnt break my top 5 no way.

    I put Hopkins 5-7, his best win was against a welter, not to discredit his win, but there are other fighter that are obviously ranked higher then him.
