Comments Thread For: Mayweather Dimissses Hopkins' Plea For Catchweight Bout

[Butt stuff]

floyd is ducking optimus prime,

[theboxingguru]

Clear duck.

STFU.. Would it be a duck if any other LHW challenged him. BHop is too old drop all that weight. I think win or lose, The Stevenson fight should be his last fight. I think Stevenson is going to beat him up.

For the second time in as many fights, Bernard Hopkins called for the mother of all catchweight fights – a showdown with undefeated welterweight king Floyd Mayweather. The 49-year old wunderkind is fresh off of a 12-round light heavyweight title unification win over Beibut Shumenov, which took place on April 19 in Washington D.C.

The feat earned Hopkins the distinction of becoming the oldest fighter in boxing history to win a unification fight, a title fight and to capture a title – the latter two breaking his own records. Every win by Hopkins from here on out will make him the “oldest to…” honoree, though by mentioning Mayweather’s name it’s clear that he has his eye on a different kind of historic event.

I see no reason why Floyd doesn't fight Hopkins or Ward at a catch weight if he wants to be considered an ATG of this era..IMO

P.S. That's if he gets past El Chino that is..

Not with that resume..

Go back and look at what fighters did back in the 80's and 90"s and then come back and lets talk ATG'S..

Start with Pernell Whittaker who went up a weight class took a Champions belt and went right back down to his nature weight.. That's a sign of a gangster that doesn't fear NO MAN or WEIGHT CLASS..

I just did and didnt realize how many former champions and top ranked fighters he fought.

He is an ATG and is best of this era.

Hasnt Floyd gone up 3 times took champion belt then back down to natural weight? Yes he has

[mrpizza-nd_beer]

No comment on Porter's performance? It was on between Quillin and Hopkins.

They asked it but all they could hear was "BLEEP!"

[SUBZER0ED]

Bhop challenging Mayweather is a ridiculous circus move. I'm not crazy about Mayweather, but he's right in suggesting Hopkins is looking for a big payday. Why isn't he calling out Stevenson, who is the other champion in his weight class? Is it because Adonis KO'd Dawson in 1, the guy who beat Bernard in 12?

[Vasyl’s dad]

Hopkins has 20-25 lbs on Floyd.....it'd be like Floyd fighting Donaire

Or Floyd fighting Marquez.
