    Golden Boy PR Campaign

    "Mayweather knows and I got to give him credit for trying to get the most money against the smaller guys. It's our job and we have to agree at Golden Boy and we do agree, at least right now, that we have to be the counter puncher of what Mayweather wants to do in the future, which is fight the smallest guy out there."- Benard Hopkins

    Benards most notable Wins since 2001

    2001-09-29 157 Felix Trinidad
    2004-09-18 156 Oscar De La Hoya
    2007-07-21 170 Ronald Wright (Most success as a JR)
    2008-10-18 170 Kelly Pavlik (blown up to light heavyweight)
    Lone win against credible opponent in proper weight class
    2006-06-10 174 Antonio Tarver

    Oscar Dela Hoya actually fairs a little better in the competition department but also stoops a little lower then Bhop...most notable Fights since 2001 with exception of B Hop

    2001-03-24 147 Arturo Gatti
    2004-06-05 160 Felix Sturm
    2006-05-06 153½ Ricardo Mayorga
    2007-05-05 154 Floyd Mayweather Jr (loss)
    2008-05-03 150 Steve Forbes (disgraceful)
    2008-12-06 145 Manny Pacquiao (loss)

    Shane Mosely actually has a decent fight history except the fact he lost in all the competitive fights.. How bout his big wins.

    2008-09-27 153½ Ricardo Mayorga
    2007-02-10 147 Luis Collazo
    2006-07-15 153 Fernando Vargas
    2005-09-17 148 Jose Luis Cruz
    2005-04-23 148 David Estrada
    2003-09-13 154 Oscar De La Hoya
    2001-07-21 147 Adrian Stone
    2001-03-10 147 Shannan Taylor

    And lets not foget he was just chasing PAC MAN. And lets not forget Margo. But i believe now well presume Margo is a below average fighter without the laoded gloves. Do we rate this win as a big success?

    o yea im not defending Mayweather.. Im stating that they are just as shameless and have been just as self gratifying and are as much to blame for the state of the sport as anyone

      People conveniantly forget that Floyd has been outweighed plenty of times ( Corrales, Castillo, Gatti, Baldo, Oscar )

      Hopkins has fought a lot of smaller fighters but the guy is 45 ffs

      Oscar and Shane have also fought bigger fighters ( Mayorga, Vargas, Hopkins, Forrest, Wright )

      All 4 fighters are great
