How Do You Rank Jones, Calzaghe, and Hopkins ATGreatness As Of Now?

[BIG H]

People change weights all the time. So, if Roy didn't beat Ruiz you'd cry that he isn't a heavyweight. If PBF didn't beat Gatti, Sharma Mitchell, or anyone else he beat north of his first weight classs. we'd cry he isn't a welterweight.

The fact is, Bhop fought guys who were p4p threats and COULD perform at those weights. He won... PBF moved up and beat oscar.. so why cant these guys move up and beat Bhop?
Stop taking his credit.

Tito is a great name, but when did he ever 'perform' at Middleweight, Hopkins and Winky both destroyed him. I'm not taking any credit from Hopkins, I said he would've beatten whomever he fought, but I'm saying your argument that his has fought the great list of opponenents aint true. Well it is partly co athey were great names, but they weren;t great Middleweights. At Middleweight he was fighting guys like Robert Allen 3 times. Why did Allen get a 3rd fight after he was stopped in the 2nd. Why did Echols get a rematch when B-Hop won every round in their fisrt fight?

I thought Felix Trinidad performed well at Middleweight beating the living heck out of. Ricardo Mayorga and William Joppy.

Secondly BIG H have you ever seen Bernard Hopkins vs Antwun Echols 1 ? because it doesn't look like you have and it sounds like you just read the judges scorecards.

That was a very competitive fight and Antwun Echols. Could of been awarded a knockdown in the first round, although the punch seemed to be on the break.

But he was giving Bernard Hopkins fits until the later rounds when Bernard Hopkins took over. I only had Bernard Hopkins winning by about 3 rounds at max, and if the knockdown would of been scored in the first round. It would of been very close.

Bernard Hopkins did need to rematch Robert Allen a 2nd time, because Robert Allen was coming on until Mills Lane accidentally pushed Bernard Hopkins out of the ring and injured Bernard Hopkins shoulder.

But many people thought Bernard Hopkins was faking the injury, because Robert Allen was coming on at that point. So a rematch needed to happen, not sure why a 3rd fight happened though that was indeed pointless.

Mayorga and Joppy both deserved to beaten shitless That does not impress me.

Yes I have seen Hopkins Vanderpool and I had Hopkins winning 9 rounds

BIG H im telling you now Bernard Hopkins vs Antwun Echols 1 was very competitive. Until the championship rounds where Bernard Hopkins stamina was better and he outworked Antwun Echols. And a knockdown could of been scored in the 1st round.

William Joppy, Ricardo Mayorga, were respectable names at that time BIG H. And the point im making is that Felix Trinidad still showed the power at Middleweight.

We all score fights different I suppose.

What were the official scorecards?

The official scorecards were one sided which was a surprise to me, but the commentators pretty much had it the sameway i did. I thought Antwun Echols put on effective pressure and he was landing hard flush shots.

But then he seemed to fade badly down the stretch, which allowed Bernard Hopkins to outwork him and distance himself points wise.

But i actually think Antwun Echols gave Bernard Hopkins, one of his toughest fights of his career.

[El Kabong]

Hopkins' fights vs Robert Allen were the toughest for him (as well as the toughest for the fans to watch). In hindsight Hopkins-Griffin would have been a big match up back in the day
