I mean for him to be above Bernard Hopkins is ludicrous. Really, it is. Hopkins was p4p #1!, almost a year after Marquez drew with Pac, and since then has, (imo) gone 1-1 with Taylor, but either way extremely close fights, then moved up 2 weights to beat the ring's #8 p4p guy.. And now he is suddenly behind someone who drew with Pac a year before he lost to Taylor and hasn't fought a world class fighter since. It's all a bit silly imo. So is having Castillo or Hatton above Hopkins.
for the voice of sanity. It's just a shame that some of the young whippersnappers on this site, mentioning no names El Gamo fail to appreciate Hopkins acheivement or Jermain Taylor's for that matter.
He's just trying to eliminate everyone on the top 10 p4p so one day he can try to justify putting Margarito on there
