    Both have beaten better fighters. Hopkins longevity is a major plus, but the names aren't there compared to Pacquiao or Mayweather. More comparable with Mayweather, but Floyd's been so much more dominant.

      Cloud sucks. He got his ass kicked by Campillo and fought a true toss up fight with Glen Johnson before Hopkins got to him.

          And when it's someone you don't like that beats top fighters in their division, you start criticizing them. So I'm not even going to keep going because every time I mention something you will keep moving the goal post.

            Too many foreigners down there for him to know.

                Pretty funny, I read this all the time. He gets discredited his whole career after beating "smaller" fighters who only about 6-7 people believed he could beat. It's not about him not being what people make him out to be, it's more like people never thought much of Hopkins, he isn't supposed to beat anyone, but when he does overcome the odds, which is often, some thing is wrong with the opponent then and the win is not that good.

                    Who are the better fighters Floyd beat? His best win is Diego Corrales.

                      Well Floyd did get a split D over Oscar. But then again B-hop stopped him.
