| Hopkins could now rival Archie Moore if he wants. |

Now that's just not fair, Hopkins still has decent fighters around him but he doesn't have the luxury of golden divisions like Moore fought in. Not saying Hopkins is better by any means but I'd certainly be happy throwing him into past decades. |

| Good points Ali,but Hopkins has seen better days IMO and beating on the likes of Pascal and a shot Jones Jr.is only prolonging the inevitable.His body may look good for a man his age,but his reflexes don't look right to me.I do agree on the point he would have held his own in just about any era. | |
