Duran or Hopkins

Hopkins will always have a special place in boxing for me & he was/is an amazing fighter...but...Ray Robinson did so much...the problem I have is that...Robinson went down hill after he hit 40.

The other thing you gotta factor is is that he won & lost & then won again the middleweight title two or three times towards the twilight years.

That speaks a lot for the man, IWO. The age that he did that...most fighters are either retired, dead, or just gone.

Sugar Ray for me.
Hopkins second.

Gotta ask, for I have no idea... But did Sugar Ray beat anyone special after he had actually turned 40?? I thought he wen't downhill after his mid to late 30's..

Who is the wierdo that bums kessler so much??? 4you or whatever? He's not even 40 for cryin out loud!!! He raves on about Kessler on every topic!!!! If you read this dude, KESSLER is going to get whooped when he fights anyone half decent!!! Even Lacy would take out that bum!!

Anyway on a serious note, its got to be either Foreman or Hopkins. id go for Foreman purely because he had like 10 years out of the ring. Although a couple more fights from B-hop and id change my mind!!!
