#1 Donaire #2 Ward #3 Gamboa #4 Alvarez The difference between Donaire and Ward is that Donaire is a puncher and a KO artist, Ward isnt. Though they may rack up the same caliber wins, Donaire still wins with a better KO ratio vs comparable competition. Its one thing to win, but to KO is to soundly dominate. Thus rewarded point-wise according to BoxRec
It'd be an amazing feat if Hopkins went on to beat Dawson, Bute, Ward, and maybe picked up a cruiserweight title to be rated at the top at the age of 49. Chances are that doesn't happen. His reflexes have eroded considerably over the past few years.
