    ^That fight was the equivalent of Floyd's win over Marquez. Both were in the wrong weight class.

    And before you come with the "Trinidad was a champion" defense, Marquez came back to the same weight class and beat the consensus php #1 by most accounts.

        Trinidad was impressive. I would put Floyd vs Hatton above Pavlik tbh. Trinidad and Corrales were respectively two of the best performances in this era in terms of pure domination. Floyd has more big wins than those listed though, in comparison. Outside of the top 3 you move a bit down the list and Floyds top fights outweigh Bernards, though keep going deeper overall Hopkins fought better overall competition.

          wow nice come back. Since you only know a couple fighters who's your favorite and how jammed full of all time greats is his resume

          Man you must be so tough if you think all these boxers are no named bums. I bet you've kicked so many a$$e$?

            Yeah if you're basing it SOLELY on who he fought, but resumes also go to include win-loss when talking about who is better. In which case a lot of that resume would be wiped off the list.

                wow you are really pulling at straws even for a floyd homer. If you love him so much why don't you guys go get married?

                  I find it amusing that you ignore the outcomes of half the fights you mentioned.

                    I am sorry I included him. I will take your word that he is no good since I watched many of Hopkin's fights but certainly not all 20 of his defenses. I assumed Hakker was good because of his record but that can be misleading as some fighters get a good record by fighting lousy fighters.
