Then why put Hatton above him (Popkins) when he also lost to Mayweather, struggled with a small Lazcano and beat feather fisted (but courageous) Paulie?

It was done in a joking way, but anyway which ones? It is interesting to see that people cant have a go at Hatton for beating a smaller guy because that's Bernard's game. Which facts are "twisted"? Tell me!
Hopkins has multi weight credibility, tell me about it? A ropey Tarver is the only guy he has ever beat from a weight above his career weight. Take the ESB, Hopkins love, glasses off.
4 for me. Beat JMM and he is 2 or 3. Beat Floyd (which I'm still pretty sure is impossible but you never know in boxing) and he is straight forward, undeniable number 1.
I normally agree with your points, Roly but you have surprised me here, mate. There is not a chance that Pac would slip any lower than 3rd place with a loss against Rick.
You just never know in this sport mate. Ricky has his best night and Floyd has a very poor night where his timing and defence is off and... It's very unlikely and as i said, I fear it's almost impossible (though we all saw Rick's faults in that fight. It was completely obvious where he went wrong, not least losing the plot and seeing red) and Floyd's defence is as good as anyone's today or yesterday but we know that Rick has the strength and power to knock Floyd out with the right punch to the head or the body. As close as it might seem to impossible (especially at 147), it definitely isn't impossible!
