Forget jumping weight classes by cherry picking, this man dominated the middleweight division for 10 years, making 20 defenses of his title and is now a 2 time Light Heavyweight Champion and is the oldest fighter ever to win a world title.
This man fought everyone, lost some, won most and is still kicking ass at the age of 46.
Bernard Hopkins is the greatest and Pacquiao and Mayweather can fight for second place.
Everyone knows Pac is the best fighter of this generation. Visually alone you can see it. Pac throws punches, they land on his opponents, and he wins. He dont need a lot and do a lot of the other stuff BH has to do, like the spoiling tactics and stuff and dirty stuff in order to prevail.
if hopkins is the greatest fighter of this generation, where does jermaine taylor rank?... 1. hopkins 2. taylor 3. pacquiao/mayweather 99. sergio martinez???
lmfaooo at dense. burner, calling somebody dense.....:lol1:
I love it how everytime somebody does something great in boxing, the flomos go straight to disparaging pac.
Sergio ko's williams.... sergio's ko better than pac's kos...
Donaire beats montiel..... donaire is better than pac....
Victor Ortiz beats andre berto.....ortiz >pac....
Sergio beats sergei dzinitdoesntmatter.... Sergio is better than pac...
Hopkins beats jean pascal....hopkins greater than pac & is not roiding even though he's 46 & beating younger men while pac is in his prime & beating crappy opponents but he's roiding.
:lol1:
^^^ Damn truth here in NSB..
I really don't think there is any order to the greatest of our generation. Manny, Floyd, Bhop and Roy are all greats, atgs. no point in saying who is better or greater
Most of Hopkins biggest win are guys who are coming up in weight to fight him.
I think Roy has better wins overall but Hopkins withstood the test of time. Thats probably what separate him from Roy.
IMO it's a toss up as far as who is better between Roy and BHop.
Are you guys really this dense?
RJ was ALSO named fighter of the decade.
Hey guess what. Hopkins is greater than Roy too. Pac winning fighter of the decade doesnt mean hes greater than Hops.
It absolutely does because that means the general consensus amongst boxing writers/experts was that Manny was by far the best fighter from 00-99. Not only did he win but it was by a landslide.
I know you don't know sh1t about boxing, hence your constant trolling, but please tell me what significant wins Hopkins had prior to 2000 and after 2009 that would propel him past Manny legacy wise?

Pacquiao is not on B-hop's level...which title has Pac held for over 10 years? Which belt has Pac successfully defended 20 times? NONE!
B-hop fights REAL opposition, not shot to shit fighters coming off losses in a division they dont even belong in...
DAMN.. i bet you cant see the irony in your post..
It just show how really stupid you are...
i actually think pacquiao could take a decision against hopkins even with the weight disparity. If there ever was a light heavyweight made for pacquiao hopkins is it.
OMG...So we got a Pacfan talking about Pacquiao fighting a 46 year old Benard Hopkins at HW, BUT, Pacfans go ape **** when we talk about him facing a MW named Martinez...
Lol, I guess Martinez is not 46 years old, so maybe thats way.

foreman and hopkins victory should put an end to issues about old and used up fighters; such issues being raised up against pac's roster of opponents like odlh, diaz, hatton, marg etc.....in a bid by others to belittle the accomplishments of pac....
DUMB, DUMB, DUMB. Hopkins and Foreman are very special fighters, that don't give Pacquiao a pass for fighting shot fighters. Although I would say Hatton wasn't shot.

True, we are supposed to believe Floyd made hatton shot and ruins people, Cotto was finished, and diaz was not a good win. Diaz beat Morales so probably is by far superior to Pascal because who has Pascal beat?
I will admit Pacquiao did great things. Maybe they're tied but Hopkins no slouch compared to Pacquiao. They are both ATG! :luvbed:

LOL so we can say Calzaghe is greater then.
Yeah Calzaghe resume is way better than B Hop, sure lets say he is greater.
While were at it lets put Clinton Mitchel ahead of B Hop to because he gots a close when over him to.
