I don't see how that's such and achievement tbh. Beating an overrated tarver who's best fight was beating an over the hill Jones, loosing to an overrated Taylor twice (albeit controversially) and beating an old blown up middleweight. Is there something im am missing? because i am just not seeing it.

But he jumped up 2 weight divsions and beat the champ, plus, HE is a blown up middleweight too

1) PBF
2) Paquiao
3) R Marquez
4) Hopkins
5) Hatton


PERFECT

Im sorry but I am convinced that if these events happened to anyone else they would not be rated in the top 10 P4P. IMO Hopkins is currently living off his reputation (his younger days) not the quality of his recent fights.

I thought the Winky-Hopkins fight was a draw, so I have it:
1. Mayweather
2. Pacquiao
3. Winky (dropping from 2nd to 3rd)
4. Rafael Marquez
5. Juan Manuel Marquez
6. Taylor
7. Hopkins
8. Calzaghe

I dont get why people rate Winky so high.
Winkys last 4 are losing to hopkins beating a old Ike Quartey a draw against JT(could have went either way I guess) and beating a B-class fighter in Sam Soliman. why rate him so high for that im not impressed.
Hopkins last 4 are beating Winky, beating stinky Tarver (had to jump up in weight though and this is p4p) and 2 losses to JT which could have also been called a draw or wins for hopkins.

maybe you guys see something I don't but looking at there last 4 I think Hopkins deserves to be higher.

My top 10

1. Floyd Mayweather Jnr
2. Manny Pacquiao
3. Rafael Marquez
4. Bernard Hopkins
5. Juan Manuel Marquez
6. Marco Antonio Barrera
7. Ricky Hatton
8. Joe Calzaghe
9. Joel Casamayor
10. Joan Guzman

On accomplishments only I'd definitely have Winky and Hopkins in the top five.

Honestly though I'm not sure at this point there among the top five fighters in the world. Winky actually seems to be slowing down more than Hop which is a bit odd. I guess I could be reading too much into him being so sluggish at 170, but he seemed to be slowing down even in the Quartey fight.
