I love X and I think he is the #4# best but Ive never been 100% on him. People talk about 20 defenses but who were they against. I think what Floyd has done maybe even more impressive. He got a title like 16 fights ago and is still undefeated so that is like 16 defenses but they are against better overall comp and in 4 divisions and he will probally be moving up again soon.
Hopkins beat mostly bums and fought a couple of them 2 or 3 times. He has only 2 significant wins and they were against Tito and Oscar who were both in only there second fight at 160 and we all know that Oscar didnt belong there so there is only 1 good win he has. Now he beat Tito fear and square but he was still the bigger man then and Tito started at 147 and Oscar at 135. He always calls out littile guys but never moves up. I wouldve loved to see him fight Calzaghe, Jones, Tarver, or even someone like Lacy now. We assume he would beat Lacy but how do you know that Lacy's power wont be too much for the smaller Hopkins to handle. How do you know that fighting these bigger guys, we wont see Hopkins hurt for the first time. You criticize other guys for being hurt and say that Hopkins has the best chin but alot of guys got hur when they move up. There were so many top fighters at 160 back in the day and he never fought any of them except for Jones which he lost. He shouldve been moved up instead of calling smaller guys cowards because they wont fight him. The same goes for Zoo. I think if you want to truely be #1 #4# then you have to move up in weight. You can stay at your weight but sooner or later you have to move up. Now he's talking about moving up but against who, Glen Johnson, a guy he already beat?
Now thats why I like Sturm. He is like a big middleweight. He is tall and has nice size. He would be the first big guy who I have seen X fight in a long time and I think his style and jab would give Hopkins fits. I would pick Sturm in the upset, while Hopkins would look like a frustrated littile guy
