    Only thing Hopkins has is longevity and Leonard was beat by by Norrs and than Comacho by KO does anyone and I mean anyone hold those losses against him or,do,they diminish his legacy ? Uh no like someone said before you can't do what has already been done !

    It is a difficult one to answer. My heart says Roy, in my generation probably top 4 or 5
    P4P. But when you look at what BHop has done and continued in his latter years WoW.
    Think I will give the Edge to BHop if he wins tonight.

    Anyone not expect him to win like he did against Shumenov ? He does this to Stevenson or Kovalev than were talking .

    :lol::lol:

    Longevity is good. It equates to endurance.It is also a testament of how BHOP has fought the world's best at the highest level and not taken much punishment where he is slurring like Holyfield or Bradley.
    If Leonard had been able to win against Norris and Comacho, wouldn't his legacy be even greater?:yep

    Do you think tonight he fought the world's best ? Was Pascal the world's best ?

    You honestly think he ranks above Holyfield ? Damage is a part of the sport so I guess since Foreman doesn't slur his speech he's greater than Ali .

    Since Leonard didn't win those fights does that effect his legacy ?

    Bernard has the longevity.

    Roy was more dominant and accomplished more.

    Hopkins is now doing what Jones did long before but lets not forget that Hopkins didn't make that jump until Jones started declining ! He could have made that jump sooner but he knew Roy was in his way ..I mean look at how Dawson beat him. He's fortunate that those guys are no longer around because if they were this little run he's on would have been short lived .
