but....BHOP can figure out floyd................it will be ugly.......but BHOP can take away all of floyds advantage.....in a match

I'm not so sure thats another one of those weird matches to discuss because bhop is in a whole other division than floyd. I think floyd's versatility would win out if they were of similar size but they aren't of similar size so there lies the difficulty.

Drama

I'm liking all this drama! The more the better. It would be a pretty boring event if everyone just agreed on all the terms. All this arguing, name calling, and trash talking is only gonna generate more and more interest from non-boxing fans! Look, you may not like Floyd, you may not like Manny, but the fact is, they are the only 2 guys keeping the interest of the general public in the is sport. Especially with the rise of MMA, boxing needs this right now! Floyd knows what he's doing when he goes on tv trashing Pac/Roach. The point is HE's on TV. How many of us get frustrated watching Sports Center after a HUGE fight and at MOST, they give the story 30 sec of coverage. Manny's doing a great job playing the "Good Guy" in this saga, too! This is some Ali/Frazier **** right here and the whole world will have no choice but to pay attention!

Good post. In his prime Roy showed unbeliveable skill and dominance. After his prime he has shown us heart, determination and love for the game. He is a true entertainer and he also tries to evolve the way boxing works by acting as his own promoter setting up a fight with Calzaghe who also was his own promoter. Apart from that he brought in to reality the idea of a purse split based on the outcome of the fight, something i think might do much good for the sport. Roy Jones has done much good for boxing and when he retires he will be truly missed.

well put thank you very much

damn.... only glen johnson and kelly pavlik come to mind because I would say his size would equate to naturally atleast 160+. A lot of guys on here wouldn't even call those two elite tho....

is HAGLER better than/greater than SRL for you?...................few similarities in this analogy..................

I usually try not to speak on fighters from eras that I didnt watch happen. I watch a lot of old fights and both are impressive fighters, but I get to see whole lot more footage of SRL than Hagler so my opinion is biased towards SRL.
