Hopkins has a higher boxing IQ in my opinion, though it's debatable.

I'm interested in your opinion. What would make you say that?

i used to hate how hopkins fought, but the further i've gone into boxing i've been able to appreciate it and its very much similar to how i fight. it really makes you take into account how some people are natural fighters and other guys are just atheletes. thats why i think nothing of the "all the heavyweight are playing football/basketball" discussions.

i made a comment in the teon kennedy rbr thread about dargan's inside skills. you can tell he's been in hops camp. it's just the little things, and i can't tell you exactly what they are, but they come to me naturally and i do notice things that i do when i'm in there that seem of these "high iq" guys do.

i used to HATE HATE HATE mayweather as a fighter but as i've become more polished i've been able to appreciate his (and hop's) skillset more

i hope bhop trains some guys after he's all done

floyd's is actually much higher. hopkins takes too many risks. if floyd never gets in the ring with dangerous fighters then he won't be in danger. preventative care. smart man.

Do you have to turn EVERY discussion into an insult?

I think it's painfully close.

I think I would lean on Mayweather. But it's incredibley close and there is no wrong answer.
