I'm a big BHop fan but most of these guys take him. His greatness is from consistency, master his craft, and dedication. I think light heavy greats are too big for him although I think he gives Roy a heck of a fight at 175. I also think the Toney fight is close. Toney can easily be argued to have a higher peak at 160 but I don't like his lack of dedication. I think BHop beats him 7 of 10 times because James would have this excuse or that. SRR, Hagler, and Monzon are quite possibly the 3 greatest middleweights so no shame there. I think he takes LaMotta because he is trouble for someone that goes for KOs not someone who can stay in a gameplan for the whole fight. Duran is small at 160 and I think he would apply all sorts of pressue Hearns wouldn't like.

if he fought them consecutively,he'd loose most.the gaining/losing weight & calibre of opposition would kill him.seriously he would be competitive in most of tyhem but most of those guys fought much more regularly.so it might come down to when they fought.bhop,as is the mo these days would be favoured by long intgervals.guess that is why these match ups cause such debate.
