People criticise Joe Calzaghe because they don't buy the record,even though he has beaten most of his opponents impressively,crushed his main rival and is unbeaten and unified champ. Obviously Hopkins has fought the better fighters but my point is don't just look at the numbers,look at the guys he has fought too. I don't think they qualify him for GOAT nor top 10-15.
back Gamo i totally agree if you actually look at Hopkins best wins there all from boxers like Tito ect moving way above there natural weight im sorry but Hopkins is nowhere even close to Henry Armstrong Willie Pep or Muhammad Ali hell even Salvador Sanchez who died so young has beaten more atg in there weight class than Hopkins has ever done.
