    Not my words but those of Bernard Hopkins.

    Thoughts?
    So are you on record, or is Bernard on record as backing this statement?

      I dont believe that for a second.

      Ricky is a helluva fighter and contrary to popular belief...a real athlete. So is Mayweather.

      But Mayweather is miles ahead of him when it comes to in ring skill.

        No those are Bernard's opines, not necessarily mine.

          Just checking, your quote said that you were on record, so I was just curious.

          Hopkins has last his mind.

            Floyd has faster hands, legs, and throws quicker and more fluid combinations.

              Ricky is not faster than Floyd. He might not even be stronger than him. But he's pretty fast and pretty strong, and he's got better stamina I believe.

                They are both very fast, and looking back at Tszyu fight Hatton is much more effective with his speed then Judah. He did not let Kostya time him like Judah.

                  Keyword being effective. I don't think he's faster than Zab Judah.

                    Also I think Hatton will get tired if Floyd makes him fight his fight.
                    someone like SRL or a prime Jones Jr were 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 where maybe 3-4 of them actually land and the rest either miss or just shoe shine...

                    Floyd is more of a 1-----2-----3-4-------5------6 type of combination puncher where4-6 of those punches land...

                    Floyd is not a blazing fast shoe shiner...his focus is on timing, accuracy and quick release

                    I think many may be overlooking Hatton's speed...he has some

                      I can't remember the last time Floyd threw a combination. It must have been against Gatti.
