    Even if Hopkins only became boring as he aged it's where his best wins are.

    You're rating him top 20-30 ALL TIME because of his recent achievements, no?

    Without doubt he should be commended for being at the top of the sport at his age.. but he's been the underdog because of it in all his recent fights. He has nothing to lose.

    The recent achievements put him over the top, push him past Roy IMO yes. The longevity in general.
    Its just a matter of I don't think boring should play a part in it is all.

    Fair enough, I guess being boring shouldn't really be a factor, he has proven to be a great fighter.. but I think he's horrible to watch.

    This feeling has been greatly influenced by staying awake till 4am to watch him.. err.. bore many times.

    If you had experienced this you may feel different. Serious.

    I was a fan and I don't know if I'd have stayed up till 4, if you live in the US they come on at like 10, something to think about

    who would you have rated the highest out of those listed?

    Why have you made a serious thread? This is quite worrying.. am i meant to say Pac is no.1

    Roy is the best of that lot.

    Roy beat Hopkins, Toney and way past his best had some success (decked him) against Calzaghe.

    Lopez has no star names.

    Pac and Marquez are basically the same. Mosley is a hot-&-cold merchant.

    Well for me if Mosley keeps wining and few more big wins he could be put above Hopkins and Jones he has same quailty wins as they do and has kept strong longer then Jones did and as far as Calzaghe not sure were to put him but he deserves to be some where in the 100 but as far as Mosley and Hopkins they still fighting hard to call Jones i would say some were in the top 30 but tell you the truth think people while always rank those guys below people like Whitker Hearns and Leonard type of fighters.

    I used to make serious threads all the time when I was a boxing fan

    Not like I'm really gonna argue against Roy being rated the highest but I do think you can't just write off the last six or so fights

    anyways

    Morales

    Barrera

    ODLH

    LOL, just kidding ODLH isn't a top 100 fighter

    i really hope marquez doesnt do a morales and fight on 1-2 fights longer than he should do (not that he should retire yet)

    Of the current batch only pac, marquez, mosley can be considered potential hall of famers
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    Good Thread. I'd say of the group you've mentioned...

    1. Hopkins, Jones to me they clearly lead the pack ( probably top 30 )

    2. The rest. Too close to call, but probably Mosely leads the rest. anywhere from 40 - 100. I'd say they could all be top 100 material.
