Sure he wasnt exactly an arturo gatti or MAB but boxings about much more than just out and out fighting and during the 90s hopkins proved time and time again a world class technician will always beat a brawler
I actually thought MAB was a fantastic technical fighter, he certainly turned into much more of a boxer after the Junior Jones losses.
very true

but he could still scrap it out with the best of them on his day
Barrera is a more complete boxer for me. I love watching him fight and his evolution has been an act of class.

Hopkins is undeniably a bit boring these days.
