Nobody can argue with that one.

Pacquiao and Floyd could learn a thing or two from the old vet.

comparing hopkins to gayweather is like comparing a lion to a kitten

How is an over-the-hill fighter who has never been known as a knockout puncher still able to compete against some of the best talent in the world today?

The answer is simple. Nobody in today’s fight game, including Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, can match Hopkins' mental skills. He has been boxing professionally for over 20 years and during that time he has mastered his craft in the ring.

When he steps through the ropes, B-Hop rarely makes a mistake. He knows exactly what his weaknesses are and he does an exceptional job of disguising them. Likewise he knows his strengths and he has a knack for tricking his opponent into thinking otherwise.

If I had to guess, I would say we will never see another fighter like Bernard Hopkins

Roy prime for prime was better then Hopkins.

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

Hopkins' style served him well and enabled him to stay longer. In contrast, RRJ's style requires a lot of energy and stamina. Speed fighters who rely on speed may be better in their primes, but they're also better off retiring early.

Hopkins beating Bute, Dawson, SuperSix winner (Ward duuhh) would unquestionably leave him number 1 lb4lb at what 48 years of age? That to me is simply mind boggling and words couldnt do justice to how great an accomplishment that would be.

All while Pac and Floyd continue to duck each other, Bhop is fighting dudes half his age and beating them up. Sick life sir

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.

To be honest I agree with this post 100%.

The fact that many posters bring up Floyd and Manny each and every time is an indirect way of saying you acknowledge how great they are. Also the fact that Bhop has done the same things and even worse than Floyd and Manny, yet gets a pass let's me know that both are held to a higher standard which can only mean people admit both are better.
