[tjose385]

who do you all think has better defensive techniques pretty boy floyd or Bernard "the executioner" Hopkins.

[THE REED]

when it comes to defense, not too many are topping floyd

floyd....there's a difference in smothering your opponent and making them completely miss from point blank range

yea but something also has to be said about fighting for 20yrs. and not being cut or knockout in a single fight

Yeah I would agree with this. Bernard is sneaky good in there defensively but you gotta go back to Pernell before you find a guy with the defensive skills of Mayweather.

indeed...its commendable that he can fight at that level but with that being said, your original question was 'who is better defensively'...and for this fight fan, its floyd...its easier to avoid punches when you're clinching your opponent and have one arm wrapped up for half the fight

floyd hands down

I wonder if Mayweather can avoid getting hit when he's 43.

Helluva point.

Mayweather is better at 30 than Hop was.

We will never know about Mayweather at 43, when the reflexes are not there anymore.

Exactly, Hopkins' reflexes should be much slower right now and he's still very hard to hit flush, it's amazing.
