Bernard Hopkins: "Mayweather, The Best of My Era"

[thebowtod]

why is it always the black fighters that say this? jk

[El Dominicano]

Light heavyweight champ Bernard Hopkins, who at one time topped the pound-for-pound list, has given praise to Floyd Mayweather Jr, calling him the best fighter of his era. Before Hopkins lost two consecutive bouts to Jermain Taylor, the boxing world would often debate on the same subject: "Who is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, Hopkins or Mayweather?" [details]

People still want to hate?

[El Dominicano]

Sugar Ray Leonard, one of the best fighters to ever step foot in a boxing ring, also told the paper Mayweather is the best of his time. Mayweather is often compared to Leonard.

"He's an amazing fighter," Leonard said. "Very economical. It's all about the eyes. He's one of the few fighters I've ever seen, like Muhammad Ali, he watches every move his opponent makes, and capitalizes on those mistakes. That's a gift. You can't teach that. Floyd's number one this era. He's proved that, against Oscar, now against Ricky Hatton. He's fought the best fighters of his era, so that puts him up there. There's a few more fights left in Floyd, and bigger and better things to come."

Whatever happen to this guy, did he die?

mid to late 90's rjj all the way

I guess you give nothing to Mayweather because B-Hop ran **** at that time.

Based on skill i cant argue. Floyd has amazing skills. Eventhough Baldomir sucks balls it was entertaining somewhat to see how fast he looked.

Anyways based on who he beat and who did not fight for various reasons, you cant base that on your judgement since several other fighters in this era have better resumes.

I still say B-Hop is the most accomplished fighter in this era.
