I doubt that will happen. Bob Arum is famous for trashing other fighters(he called Ali a one handed fighter) and said Pacquiao is the greatest of all time. *******s will eat this up man. They're blind and they'll believe anything the media says because they're fans.
whos greater all time Pacquiao or B-Hop?

It's not about age issue. Hopkins had three catchweight fights with Wright,Calzaghe and Pavlik.Comment

Hopkins did what the Klitschkos are doing now, defending against highly inferior contenders for those title defendsBHop.
20 Title defenses > 8 paper titles
Considering how Bhop took on ALL challengers. Pacquiao fights whoever Bob Arum wants him to fight BHop has made a career of defeating those "next big stars". His only 3 loses in the past in the past 17 years have all been conversational where arguably he could of won all 3 fights. Pacquiao has beaten guys who have already established there career and only fought them based on there name and past accomplishments. Also BHop is an old man. He's nearly 50 years old and he's STILL dominating the sport and defeating those "next big stars" of today.
What's the point of having 8 titles if you don't want to defend any of them? If Martinez wants to challenge for the 154 pound belt, he can't because he's "too big"....then why have the belt in the first place? The point of being a champion is to defend your fucking belt not using it as a prompt to make you look good.
This is no contest. Whoever says Pacquiao is a *******. Plain and simple. I doubt they even watched a Bhop fight before.
Bernard is one of the top 3 middleweights of ALL time.
His legacy is based on 20 defenses, not really beating the best possibleComment

That is not a clear cut thing. Im not saying its not a possibilty but its not a blowout either.
Are you really going to negate a ten year championship run to give Pac the nod? What can I say to that? SMDHI'd better see Hopkins move up and beat Roy Jones jr,Toney rather than defending titles for 10 years. I honestly think that he could've beaten Jones jr. Because in his 10 year reign his best challengers were smaller Trinidad and DLH, who were coming from lower weight. After being defeated by Taylor, Hopkins eventually had his biggest fights streak Tarver,Wright,Pavlik,Calzaghe,Pascal.Comment

Sure. Hopkins's status build on beating weak opponents for ten years. Guys like Hasegawa and Chris John have 10+ title defenses, are they also supposed to be considered ATG?Comment
