Didn't Louis have the bum of the month club? (sry but the man had shit competition)

Names do matter - so you're saying the name Jake Lamotta meant nothing to Ray Robinson's legacy?

I guess it comes down to who you ask. To me, Hopkins staying at middleweight fighting virtually nobody all this time has been anti-climactic.... And to the people who truly follow boxing thats what will stand out. Yes he finally fought Taylor, then Tarver but how long did it take him? Calzaghe/Jones (who make those other 2 names sound silly) have been here all along and have been avoided by him. They pose so much more of a threat to Hopkins because they're 'great' fighters. And thats the type of challenge Nard should of been looking for as an elite boxer.

Spinks going up to heavyweight and beating Larry Holmes was an achivement, because Holmes was such a great fighter. If he were to beat Maskaev who is a decent fighter at best, it would mean a whole hell of alot? Thats like saying Sven Ottke is one of the all time greats because he retired 34-0. And by that logic you're saying if Hopkins were to fight Wladimir Klitchsko and win, it wouldn't mean any more or less than if he were to do the same thing against Oleg? No sorry, but who you fight does mean something

You'd have to be on drugs to believe Calzaghe/Kessler/Jones wouldn't be the equivalent to Oleg Maskaev victory... total delusion

Whats that they say, quality not quantity
