    Too many on this board would not rate him anything, even if he beat the top 50 in their prime..they'd be called overrated:-(

    For what?

    Kessler and an old Hopkins are superior to an old DLH and Hatton.

    Mabey but it would most likly be a tempory thing till after Mayweather beats DeLaHoya. Calzaghe's win over Hopkins also needs to be convincing.

    Yep, IMO he's that high...

    Look, most people forget that Hopkins was ranked very high p4p before he met Taylor... then he lost two controversial fights... then he played with Jones-beater The Ring champ Tarver in his first LHW fight like he was a bad boy from the corner. And he beat p4p#3 Winky the last time... that something huge... JMM, Pac and Joe are very close, that's why he's 2 to 4... but it's not only me... The Ring think like me as well...

    Some fight fans don't even rank B-Hop... but last year Winky was a clear p4p #3 and P4P-er Hopkins beat the #3 Winky... how the hell is he missing from anyone's list?

    No because Pacman is #1 P4P.

    he will not even get the #2 spot which is held by pac. The only he will be #1 if both pac and may will lose.

    No way. Not many see Hopkins as a top P4P fighter, nor do the Calzaghe idiots see Hops a legit opponent.

    Of course, reality is FAR from what most see here anyway...

    hopkins win won't do him any good because he'll only get a few credit for that. I say he'll just be a solid #3 p4p when he beats hop but it also depends on pac to maintain #2 spot. Also depends on joe's performance and his next performance. I don't like his choices taking on pavlik, he should just make his claim at 175
