Better Resume: Bernard Hopkins vs. Floyd Mayweather

[Nubia]

This thread was made before he fought Pacquiao. But either way, both BHOP and Mayweather >>> Pacquiao.

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.

Has nothing to do with his resume, but has bearing upon fans' expectations of said resume and why they are unsatisfied with it.

It has bearing if you were to rank him against the ATGs. You can be "unsatisfied" with it, and objectively compare it to Bernard's. Completely different situation.

Well said. You are correct. I tip my hat to you, sir.

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

Hopkin's resume is legit and nobody can truly question it, unlike Floyd's.

Neither Pacquiao or Hopkins are cheaters so it's really:

BHOP and Pacquiao >>> Mayweather

I'd go B-Hop

[BrometheusBob.]

FMJ in my opinion. He beat Pacquiao, and I'd probably put Pacquiao over BHop.

Floyd...


Do people realize floyd was p4p before hopkins was, and years after hopkins was off the list floyd was still number 1..

I never saw floyd lose his first fight, get dropped and a draw with mercado, look for a way out vs allen, lose twice to jermain taylor..

Floyd beat more Ring champs, top 1-3 contenders, title holders, P4P fighters and future HOF'ers than Hopkins and he did it in 5 different weight classes. Hopkins has an excellent resume, with great wins. Is just that Mayweather beat more accomplished guys, that's all.

But great resume nonetheless - Beat Trinidad to claim Ring title at MW, beat Tarver to take away his 175 Ring title, beat Pascal to take his 175 Ring title, beat current Ring champ at 160 Pavlik at a catchweight which Pavlik wanted to go up anyway to fight Calzaghe but was ducked for Jones. Good win vs Glen Johnson.

Even if we don't take loss's into account it's still Mayweather.
