    Which win was more impressive Mayweather vs Marquez or Hopkins vs De La Hoya?

    If I'm not mistaken, both fights were at catch weights.

    hopkins vs hoya looked fixed IMO

    and JMM vs mayweather isn't at all impressive considering marquez had to go up in 2 weight classes and money didn't even make the catch weight

      BH dominated and stopped. FLoyds was more competitive and Floyd didnt stop.

      Id say BH was better even though JMM is a better fighter than DLH.

        A fighter the caliber of JMM only being able to land 69 punches in twelve rounds is impressive imo.

            again the weight had a LOT to do with JMM's performance how else to you think guys like JLC and zab judah did a lot better vs Floyd compared to jmm?

              Delahoya vs Hopkins was bull****. Mayweathers win over Marquez was at least not a fixed fight.

                You haven't watched Hopkins-De La Hoya.

                  In the 5 or so years you have been a member of this boxing forum...have you ever actually watched any boxing?

                    One has to give Floyd credit for absolutely dominating Marquez at a weight he arguably just beat Pacquiao at. Only Floyd haters don't.
