Ricky Hatton purely because I've watched him for the last 8 or so years - wouldn't miss a fight.

I'll go along with Hopkins being overrated - purely because people rate him as an ATG, see below my response to the 'where do you rank these fighters in the ATG' thread.

I def wouldn't have Hopkins as high as all you guys, my reasoning below.

His biggest fights;

Loss to RJJ
Beats Trinidad (smaller guy moving up)
Beats ODLH (as above)
Loss to Taylor x 2 (could've one both)
Beats Tarver (demolishes bigger guy)
Beats Wright
Loss to Calzaghe (close)
Beats Pavlik (smaller guy - new kid on the block)

For me this isn't a top 20 career, his best wins were against smaller guys, picking on the names moving up. His reign at Middle contained an awful lot of average guys - his or his era's fault?

Tarver is never an opponent to have to point to when securing your legacy.

Hopkins title run gets praised as much as Calzaghe's gets hammered - both are equally shoddy in my eyes.

Neither he nor Calzaghe would be anywhere near that high for me.

And the fact that he's old and still doing it is a reflection on his competition not how great he is in my eyes.
