    Maybe for skills and talent, but Floyd is also fighting at a weight class where he's never been, and probably two divisions above where he should be (at least one division).

    Hopkins was the biggest challenge of Oscar's career, IMO.

      Yes, I agree with this.

        Mosley and Trinidad were both in their primes when he faced them, I'd rate them both at the point the fought Oscar ahead of PBF.

          Its a tough call to make and I would have to say no!

          I think DLH may be the best fighter that Floyd has ever faced.

          When you consider Whitiker, Mosley, Tito, JCC, Hopkins, Bazooka. These are all top fighters. Elite fighters.

              hopkins and shane were clearly better(because of the weight)

              and even imo theyre better p4p...(not at the moment of course...)

                  I can't believe I thought Oscar had a chance in that one.

                    jcc or pernell. Both of them are way better than pbf. So no way is he the best oponant floyeds ever fought.

                      how can you rate Hopkins above Mayweather in best pound for pound boxers? Mayweather is a much better fighter considering weight.
