Where do you rank Hopkins in the ATG middleweights?

No way is Hopkins above Hagler.

 

Nicely played.

My current list at 160lbs. The fighters remain the same, but the order can vary to an exatant.

1. Greb
2. SRR
3. Monzon
4. Hagler
5. Hopkins

Wouldn't argue with Hopkins going as high as No.3, or as low as No.6-7.

 

he belongs somewhere in top 5 alongside Monzon, Hagler, Greb and Ray Robinson

 

Fourth all time is not understating anything. That's pretty good. I think he's in the top 5 or 6.

I think there are some non champs who belong on the list too, like Langford and Ezzard Charles (well, he wasn't a middleweight champ).

In an elimination tourney, really any one of Monzon, SRR, Hagler, Hopkins, Greb, Langford, Ketchall might come out on top. Hard to tell. I think Hagler and Monzon are pretty much at the top though.

BTW, the old middleweight were really more like today's welterweights at fight time, because of the current day-before weigh in rules.

 

The original Sugar Ray, followed by the Leonard Sugar Ray.

 

Got to agree.

Monzon and Hagler are two Middleweights who are all timers who i would definatley favour over Hopkins in a head 2 head

 

B-Hop in his prime is the best that I've ever seen although I don't claim to be much of a middle weight historian.

1.B-Hop
2.Hagler
3.Monzon

 

The Bodysnatcher was better at 154 than 160.

He was still a very good fighter at 160, but not one of the greats at the division.

 

I think this is a solid breakdown.
