Hopkins criticises Mayweather (video)

[Kagami Taiga]

I'm going to assume this is a joke?

Allen green a 6 out of 10? He's barely a 3.

Edwin Rodriugez 7?

You openly admit Dawson was drained and that's a 7?

Bika a 7?

Yet Cotto is 5? What kind of sense does that make?

You're reasoning for scoring Ortiz an 5 is "he got knocked out after" yet you rate Green a 7? Abraham an 8 because "he was favourite" despite the fact Froch dominated him the fight before and he's been stopped since by Steigletz?

Pretty obvious different set of standards there.

And let's face it in reality Wards resume is no where near Floyds in the last 5 years.

Lol actually he rated Rodriguez originally an 8. I'm assuming he's being funny. Or at least I very much hope so.

[IST-ra-GLEr2]

Floyd is such a laughing stock in and outside the ring.

[daggum]

ward's recent resume is clearly better. you don't need numbers to see that. just eyes.

[ИATAS]

Then what do you consider risk taking fights?

If all of those guys aren't risks then not many fighters take risks.

You have to remember the context of this conversation. Hopkins is talking about Greatest of All Time, he talks about Henry Armstrong and risk taking. Armstrong took some big risks.

I'm not here to say Floyd should do this, this or that. Only agreeing with Hopkins point that Mayweather isn't up their with the Armstrong's and the likes, which is obvious because all one has to do is look at Floyds resume. Lot's of good wins, lots of great performances. Not many great wins, not many risks. I mean, Castillo and Corrales are probably his two best wins. Risky fights. Hasn't done that since.

Well yeah of course his resume doesn't compare to Armstrong's nor his career in general. Very few do.

But if Floyd doesn't take risks then pretty much no one does today. Or at least consistently they don't.

hopkins went up 2 weight classes coming off two official losses to fight the universally recognised number 1 in a fight he has big underdog in.

[IronDanHamza]

canelo better than stevenson? that's a good laugh. floyd fans are funny thats' for sure.

Oh and what makes Stevenson so great?

His amazing win over Tavouris Cloud coming off 2 dominating loss's?

Or Dawson coming off getting stopped by the power punching Andre Ward?

Maybe the Bellew fight where he showed us the book on how to be one dimensional?

Whens the trilogy with Boone happening?

Really, what makes Adonis Stevension, Adonis, Stevenson, any better than Canelo?

Stevenson's 35, Canelo's 24 and their resume's are about the same or not much better or worse than each others.

Interesting so Tarver is a huge risk then?

[Weebler I]

Just watched the video, it sounded to me like Hopkins hinting that Floyd should've fought him at 160 and not come with the 'he's too big' excuse and that Hopkins is really a middleweight and not a LHW.
