    I think B-hop easilty cracks Top Ten Greatest Middleweights in the History of the Sport.

    In no particular order most people will have 1. Harry Greb 2. Marvin Hagler 3. Carlos Monzon 4. Sugar Ray Robinson....AND its possible B-hop might be as high as 5!! Even if he ain't i don't see how he could be out of the top ten

    He's among the top 10, no doubt. Top 5 is also a possibility depending on your rating criteria.

    Top 10. I personally have him at number 5 or 6. Can see him going as high as #4, depending on the criteria that one uses, or as low as #8. But yeah...Top 10 without a doubt.

    I think it is acceptable to have Bernard Hopkins 4th. He can be argued to be anywhere from 3rd to about 6th or 7th, but no higher or lower IMO.

    Hopkins didn't win his first two or his last two title fights at 160. So number one is out of the question, but I rate him at number three.
