    there are several elites on hopkins resume at mw though, and zero elites on 3G's until he fight Canelo.

    thats said, we need to wait till 3g is finished. maybe he will fight a string of half a dozen elites to suprise us all before he retires, although hes not yet fought one all his life. we just dont know.

    Same could be said about Hopkins in his 160 career.

    His best wins where a blown up welter and a guy who started out at 130.

    Danny Jacobs is arguably on par with Taylor.

    Id argue not even Golovkin is on par with Taylor , let alone Jacobs.

    What was Jacobs other than a holder of a mickey mouse fake WBA belt.

    Taylor was the last MW undisputed lineal champion.

    18 defenses to 6 says that you are wrong.

    They also have a common opponent. Guess who stopped him, and guess who didn't?

    Taylor is the guy that got knocked out by Abraham, who everybody is busy laughing at in the AA vs Eubank thread.
    Taylor is the guy that got TKOd by Froch, who everybody saw duck Golovkin, better than he ever ducked a punch.

    Taylor was a second time IBF Champion when he was shot to pieces during GGGs era.

    Paper defences of a fake , second tier WBA belt isn't greater than being the undisputed , lineal MW Champion.

    Golovkin's real defence count beings at Danny Geale.

    Canelo turned pro at 15! He was still growing.

    And why not?

    Taylor has one named opponent in Hopkins, he lost everytime he stepped up since.

    It's not that Taylor is so great, it's that Taylor was the first opponent Hopkins had fought since RJJ who was his own size and a true athlete.

    It's says alot more about B-Hops reign than it does how "great" Taylor was.

    And what did Taylor do after beating Hopkins?

    Absolutely nothing.

    Vanderpool was bigger than Hopkins and was utterly dominated.

    He was IBF MW Champ just two years ago. When was Jacobs ever a legit MW Champ? Never.

    Vanderpool was awful not matter how anyone tries to spin the victory.
