What does Hopkins' dominating win do for his legacy?

[ICB]

I always said he was the #3 MW of all time and deserved to be mentioned with guys like SRR, Hagler, Monzon, ect. This makes me feel even more justified in saying that.

SRR is overrated at Middleweight he was 8-6 in Middleweight title fights i believe. He was too hot and cold to be considered above Bernard Hopkins at Middleweight, i would say Bernard Hopkins is for certain the 3rd best Middleweight of all time only behind Carlos Monzon, Marvin Hagler.

Yeh, I just don't get the SRR Greatest middleweight argument, so what if he is the only one that one the title five times, that's coz Hagler Mozon, Hopkins didn't lose their title 4 times in the 1st place. SRR Greatest of all time P4P, YES, but not greatest Middle weight. I also agree that B-Hop has a big shout for being the 3rd greatest Middleweight of all time. I don't like his opposition, but he dominated for a decade and probably sits above Grebb, Zale, Walker, Burely, Ketchel and Cerdan at MW.

Not as good as Hopkins and when you factor in his age its no match.

Hopkins, like Foremen, deserves extra points for all his accomplishments after 40 years of age, let alone what he did for his whole career. That is simply something that 99% of athletes of ANY sport are unable to do. Also, like Oscar, this man has fought absolutely everyone the public demanded to see him in the ring with (with the exception of a rematch with Roy, which may still happen however). The argument must now also be made that this man has the greatest chin in boxing history, as in 55 pro fights he's never even been remotely in danger of being stopped. There isn't a fighter who ever lived who would have an easy time beating him, as in each of his losses he was competitive up until the final bell. And most importantly, his three signature wins (Trinidad, Tarver, and Pavlik) were not wars, but strait up clinics in which odds makers thought he would get destroyed beforehand.
