    Sahme on anybody who say Hopkins, when quality of opposition was clearly defined as a reason for your answer If B-Hop gets a mention so does Sven Ottke

    The ones that spring to mind have been mentioned - Galaxy, Duran & Lopez

    Didn't SRR go about 70-0 between the end of WW2 and the Turpin fight?

    Well I think he lost his 41st fight to Lamotta then by the time he fought turpin he was 128-1-2 so it must have been 90 fights unbeaten after the Lamotta fight. Taking nothin away from SRR though most were not title bouts as he seemed to fight every other week. Could you imagine how unbreakable his record would be for defenses had all been title fights?

    Not to compare Hopkins with the almighty Duran or anything, but I don't think that Hopkins' quality of opposition at middleweight was any worse than Duran's at lightweight.

    When I wrote Duran, I knew somebody would make that comparison and you have a point

    The thing is with both Hopkins and Duran I am convinced that even if they had''ve faced tougher opposition the result would've been the same as they are both awesome.

    Then what was your point? I know how you feel about Duran, but did you mean what you said about Hopkins level of opposition or not?

    Yes!!!

    Read the second part of that post Brain of the outfit

    Both had questionable opposition, so if you are talking about quality of opponents on paper and using that as your only criteria then you could day the reigns aren't that impressive - but what I said was I believe those 2 guys would still have reigned for as long regardless of the opposition.

    I don't judge Hopkins or Duran or what I see on Box Rec I judge them on what I have seen with my own eyes, but that's a different question to who has the most impressive opposition in their reign

    And I knew when I mentioned Duran that you would make that comparison.

    Have you actually got a point then?

    Something has to be said about the ones that make a long run in the same division.Especially now when guys jump weight classes as eaily as skipping rope.Hopkins cleaned out his division though it was not stacked with huge names,he caped the tournamant.Unlike a Lopez he was still able/willing to move up with success while Lopez watched some a dream fight with Carbajal go by the wayside.

    Orlando Canizales had a great run at Bantam
