What's more impressive, Pacquiao's rise through the weights or Hopkins' longevity?

    Pac just fought one 2 weeks ago and is gonna fight another one in a few months.

    Pac has the much better resume but Hopkins has probably the 2nd best resume right now in boxing.
    Is not who but when. If that's that's the case then 13 months ago against Roy Jones. And, if we go by overall greatness Jones>>>>>>>Mosley and JMM and is not even close. If we go by overall greatness Jones>>>>>Anybody who Pac has fought.

    But, that's why more importantly than who is when. Remember is not who you beat but when you beat them.

      Are you really going to count his fight with Mosley as a credit to his legacy? If that's the case then Hopkins fight with Roy Jones Jr. Last year counts too, not to mention Roy Jones is by far better than Mosley. Just saying...

        it wasnt 154 for **** sake.

        hes always been huge on fight night at every weight up until jr welterweight, and the first few classes he was still a kid.

        I think Hopkins feat is among ATG achievements nomatter what sport.
