Mayweather is nothing compared to Hopkins

[Mr. Philadel]

Obviously.


NO FIGHTER from this era compares to Hopkins. Not Floyd, not Pac, not Roy.


Hops is in a class all by himself.

dam B....I can't hit you up for this one....you know whats up

[The Gambler1981]

Factoring in his age. Hes remarkable. And it will be decades before we see something like this. Floyd and Pac are playing catch up imo.

Lets start at 2005 while Hops is past it:


Hes fought Taylor twice, Tarver, Winky, Pavlik, Calzaghe and Pascal twice.

And thats just since 05 while hes old and past it. Floyd and anyone other fighter from this era has big time catching up to do.

Not even including Tito, Joppy, Johnson, etc.

Some guys are different than other Hopkins has aged like a fine wine, he proved that a long time ago though. This doesn't change that.

Hopkins has been inconsistent if you are just talking the recent era, even if you say he hasn't been beaten decisively which is true he could have done more to win all those fights he didn't win. You have to mark that against him.

Hopkins is a great fighter view him however you desire, but I just don't see how this win is a game changer.

[Seleção No. 13]

How did i knew this was coming? Can't we just congratulate without ****ting on someone else to do so?

No double standards please. Manny's getting ****ted on another thread as well.

[NachoMan]

Roy prime for prime was better then Hopkins.

I think Hopkins belongs above both RJJ and May on the all time list though.

Bernard's career after 40 was more impressive than Roy's under 30. Would have loved to have seen them fight in 2000-2001.

[Barry Halls]

hopkins is probably the last great fighter we have.

these cherrypicking ******s like floyd and manny could never fill b-hops shoes. I don't even care that hes racist, i admire his skills so much it dont matter.

[sdcluser]

Dont get me wrong, mayweather is gifted and an amazing boxer, but his place in history does not compare to what hopkins has achieved. real talk.

Mayweather. Live a clean life and your career (inside and outside of boxing) shall propel you to the next level.
Look at BHop and Foreman.

[johncods]

Comparing Bhop to Maynever is an insult.

Second thread on Floyd Mayweather Jr tonight, indirectly involving him in the Light Heavyweight division, when this guy is a welterweight.

Laughable to say the least.


Can't talk about any boxing related topic, without bringing this man up. I mean Bernard Hopkins made history tonight, and all you morons can bring up is Floyd Mayweather. You are just praising Floyd. That something this big happens in boxing, that Floyd had nothing to do with, and you STILL have to bring him up. It's a must to bring up Floyd in any BOXING conversation, or else it won't feel like a boxing conversation, from what I see.

hopkins brain****s duckweather.... gayweather can't hold a candle to hopkins.

[Pinoy4ever]

This is something that probably won't be happening again at least for over 10 years.
