    hopkins ? no. definitely. should i remind you his debut fight , his 2 losses to taylor (twice did as bad as cory spinks who was stopped by zab judah , and worse than wright) , his cheating against wright , his cherrypicking of a drained tarver , and smaller men such as :
    simon brown , wright , delahoya , trinidad , pavlik , ornelas .
    his being one of the dirtiest fighters ever : pushing , butting , clinching , whatever you like , steroids . i am sure there are more that i do not know.
    hopkins is the most overrated fighter of recent years along with kessler and taylor (at least until 2 years ago)

    but you can see hopkins ? is it a proof of your great boxing knowledge ?
    hopkins would have beaten toney , right ? and fought the better opposition. and he even fights cleaner.

    Can't see how Jones ranks over Zale, Cerdan, Giardello and Valdez. He wasn't even a proper champ, just a belt holder.
