Found it....it wasn't weight, my bad(can't blame me for not remembering every detail on a forum a while ago). Still shows the favoritism of boxing fans on how they love to flip shit.

Hopkins was a great fighter. He is 49 and he promised his mother he would retire 9 years ago. He should retire now. I can't imagine he needs money. His fights stink out the joint and it's painful to watch his foul filled wrestling matches. He is taking punches now that could ruin his future health and cause brain damage.

In so many words you're saying Mayweather got an SD over Oscar whereas Hopkins stopped him and using that to defend your point that Hopkins is above Floyd.
Which again is just ******ed.

Like I said there was no triangle theory there, period. So the ******ed thinking is yours, sir. For concocting one.

Why did you highlight it was an SD win as opposed to Hopkins who stopped him?
What was even your point in highlighting these things and comparison of wins? Please tell me.
It's obvious what you were doing and the triangle theory you were presenting.

he's not ranked over manny pacquiao.
hopkins had an underwhelming run at MW. it was long, but the names just weren't there.
at LHW, he was old, but he still didn't beat great fighters. cloud? pascal? pavlik? a loss to dawson and a loss to calzaghe?
hopkins is a great,, but i don;t have hiim ahead of manny pacquiao. his resume is closer to mayweather. he doesn't have the undefeated record, but he fought more/better guys and for longer.
i'm also waiting for these guys to finish up before i really put them into context with similar tiers of past greats.
ideally, you wait until a fighter has died to really rank them. it's the same with artists.
