Hopkins was a freak of nature who lost his first bout and then went on an incredible run to become middleweight champion before losing to Roy Jones.

I think after losing to Jones where he became undisputed champion was his peak. Beating Tito Trinidad as the underdog was a masterclass.

The rest jumping up to light heavyweight and beating Tarver, going the distance with Calzaghe, and becoming the oldest champion was Hopkins using his boxing experience more than athleticism.
