Better Resume: Bernard Hopkins vs. Floyd Mayweather

[hugh grant]

BH is better. Floyd was the so called best yet was fighting the guerros, Ortiz of this world. Wasting his youth and now they say he's too old to fight GGG? Jmm was older thanfloy when he beat PAC.
Floyd always try fdo as little as he can get away with

This poll was made before 99% of Pacquiao fans decided they didn't like boxing anymore.

This thread sucks. Floyd would've been flat out DESROYED by the public if he fought most of the names on Hopkins resume.

You can't compare two fighters when you hold them to two completely different standards.

If there is a different standard, it's Floyd that's responsible;

You run around claiming to be the best ever laced em' up (implying superiority over such guys as SRR and Ali and Duran and SRL, etc), but then take very few risks, you bring that **** on yourself.

And then cry about it.

Only Mayweather has fought fighters rated in the top 10 of the ENTIRE sport and people say he didn't take a risk. He's on a different level to everyone else.

What difference does that make? Does he or does he not have a better resume? His opinion on his "greatness" has no bearing on the question.

Yoiu make Floyd sound quite good, yet the general consensus is that he nebverfought anyone in their primes, or took much risks! Never fought outside his country, never or rarely at peoples best weights ie hatton, jmm. Never wants to be underdog means he not fighting anyone any ggod
Whynotfightggg at 160?

People wanted too see duranv hagler and Barkley knot because they hated Duran sand wanted him to lose, yet that's what people get accused of if they want Floyd to face ggg

Fighters rated in the top 10 of the entire sport aren't any good. Got It.

If someone had put this poll up two days after the Pacquiao win the results would have been VERY different. Mayweather has the better legacy and resume imo. If BHOP had retired at 38 like Mayweather did he would largely be forgotten. He wouldn't have even ranked as high as Oscar in all time lists. BHOP's accomplishments are seen as great due to his age. Which is not a knock on him, but because of his age and losses people hold him to a much lower standard than they hold Floyd.
