    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.

    Man anytime someone asks me this i try and narrow it down and just pick one but with so many different fighters in different classes with different styles, personalities, places of orgin and at different levels of thier careers there's just no way for me to pick one guy. I like some more than others but usually not to the point where i'd root for one guy over another. I'm usually happy with the result of most fights reguardless of who wins i just like a good contest. Not necessarily a K.O. i'm down for a good 12 rounder ending up in a draw as well. I couldn't even really pick a favorite top 10 come to think about it.
