Who will be remembered as the greater fighter: Manny Pacquiao or Bernard Hopkins?

[STREET CLEANER]

I think how superior you were in the fights on the whole, how you look when you actually fight and you have to bring excitement, or the performance gets you to remember it.

For that is has to be Pac. Its not really debateable, but as long as there are opinions it will be a debate going. Who was dominant, similar to Pac vs Margarito and against Clottey. Im afraid BH has never had performances like that where the opponent was actually a punch bag on legs.
Who will be remembered as the greater fighter SRR or BH. Some would say BH but they would be classeds as ******ed.

We are not debating in who is more exciting because of course it would be Pac, just look at his star power and the millions he brings in. The debate is in who would be the most remembered

Both guys have historic achievements but IMO following both boxers for so long B-Hop has been on the top for such a long time that it is hard not to notice him.

Both guys have their mark either is an 8 weight champion or the oldest title holder is strictly based on opinion

PAC will obviously go down as the greater fighter since he is a global icon.

But, Bhop SHOULD be considered the better fighter. Bhop is a warrior who never shied away from the best. While PAC may as well be retired, since he doesn't face tough fighters anymore.

BHOP will always be a purist choice....................PAC would be remembered more of how he transcended the sports.................

Pacquiao has been facing world-class opposition MUCH BIGGER THAN HIMSELF.

Hopkin's best wins have come over SMALLER men (DLH, Trinidad, Wright). Even Pascal was noticibly smaller than Hopkins.

And Pacquiao has never needed to cheat by thumbing an opponents' eye (like Hopkins did to Pascal) or cutting an opponent over the eye with a sneaky deliberate headbutt (like B-Hop did to Wright).

I don't know why this is even a debate. He wasn't deemed as the greater fighter before the Pascal win, so he definitely shouldn't be after it.

Pacquiao will be remembered as the greater fighter. He's already regarded as the best fighter in this era despite what the 20-30 PBF fans think.

Who would those be? Oscar? Shane? Margarito? Would you call those names impressive at the current state their at?

True.

So has Pacquiaos. Erik Morales, Barrera, Juan Manuel Marquez.

And Pacquiao has never needed to cheat by thumbing an opponents' eye (like Hopkins did to Pascal) or cutting an opponent over the eye with a sneaky deliberate headbutt (like B-Hop did to Wright).

rofl, bias at It's best.

PAC will be more remembered because of his superstar iconic status right now PAC has more charisma and when did you heard a Asian popular in the sport of BOXING answer nada !!!BHOP will be remembered in mainstream America but not GLOBALLY like PAC is.

Resume bhop is slighlty ahead but PAC's fight are way more exciting BHOP fights are snooze fest.

[Barry Halls]

I live in an european country and i never see any press on Manny. At all.

Bolded indicates not a HOF but a very good Champ or lineal title holder.


Blue indicates HOF


It's close but still a no brainer!

all my point hatton makes it in to hall of fame

[Barry Halls]

hatton probably will, but he shouldn't.. his resume is kind of overrated.
