ESPN rankings for past 25 years

Yea i am just saying in a real life situation there a great chance Tony fucks it up more so then Hopkins not saying Hopkins has beat wins ever either. Hopkins just never had that half ass ness Tony did and when it comes to them fighting you got factor it in. Tony came in the worse shape ever against fucking Roy for god sake same shit might happen with Hop. Tony is a atg but he was very beatable in his prime more so then Hopkins for me i just think be safer bet on hop in a close decision but who knows.

Also what was the list for the boxers keep trying to see it on espn site but with out much luck. I think Roys getting torched so bad kinda makes him look more human not to mention the lhw divsion was pretty weak during his time and more fights did not happen with him then guys we say cherry pick today not all being his fault but we missed out on a lot of fights with Jones because of it. I think Lennox should be higher he was the most dominate hw and he avenged the knock outs which happens at hw pretty easy with there size.

Roy was better. The argument that Hop was good longer ignores who was better. It's so damn frustrating. If the best of Roy beats the best of Hop he's better. And we know the best of Roy beats the best of Hop.

Hop gets full credit for his longevity but you can't ignore who was better when discussing who was better.
