Who will be remembered as the greater fighter: Bernard Hopkins or Floyd Mayweather?

[IronDanHamza]

These rankings aren't made by just "people". Whenever some mag/website approaches ranking fighters in an unbiased, objective way, Floyd tends to, but not always, finishes ahead of his contemporaries.

On the other hand, NSB posters like yourself voting in this poll try to hard to minimize Floyd being undefeated by purposely under valuing his competition. Your goal here is the same goal you have for everything you do on NSB, knocking Floyd down a peg and criticizing his fans.

That is a major reason why this poll differs so much from the Ring's rankings.

Historians and esteemed writers views are gospel.

Oh expect when they praise Mayweather of course.

Rocky had 49 wins NO LOSSES with 43 KO's at 188 lbs fighting all comers and was always the smaller fighter. They really missed it badly didn't they, hahahahahahaha

Its no different than how the writers predicted the out come of the Hop vs K last Sat nite,,,,,,,,They MISSED it didn't they !

Everyone knows your favorite fighter is May Jr. Thats cool.

Just please name the Prime WW Elite that Jr has fought in the past ten years that defines him.

He is fixing to fight one of two duds, Khan or Alexander when he could fight Pac. The excuses over the past 4 or 5 years has been astounding. All the demands have been incredible. IF jr had wanted to fight the best he would have already fought Pac, he would have worked thru the needle exuses etc... he would have easily worked that out but he didn't.

Jr will go down as one who had skills but scared to put them on display against the best. Jr will go down as the Fraud of Boxing because HE played it SAFE !!!!!!

My favorite is Hagler, than Floyd. How does me being a fan of Floyd affect the poll results in the Ring?

Not being a fan of Floyd is what is driving this thread and the poll results.

When Floyd is that age, he won't be fighting. He'll likely be living in a beach home in Mexico, surrounded by several young male **********s who resemble Justin Bieber.

you should be banned for this type of nonsense smh

But who hasnt floyd beat, literally not named manny pacquaio?? Did fighters like an unknown pwill, margacheato, and this prime myth can it really take away from floyds legacy..? Hes fought a whos who in boxing

Prime myth, LMAO !!!!!!!! Boxing is about fighting the best against the best to prove yourself.

Ducking prime elites of the day won't go far in the sport of boxing.

It matters not who they are its about ducking someone who is a threat.

Margo scared Jr to death, the past video of their meeting proved that.

Retiring to keep from fighting Cotto proved the Duck. Excuses only satisfy those that make them.

If they'd of rated Manny over Floyd that thread would be 200 pages long and be bumped like 5 times a day

It really was a kick in the gut to our more passionate posters on here, they can't even address it due to the pain it causes them.

This is NSB, where Brandon Rios beats Floyd and Erik Morales ranks higher.

Hopkins is Jersey Joe Walcott, Floyd is the western Sven Ottke

Well just look when the BWAA voted Pacquaio as fighter of the decade.

That's gospel.

Not this, though.

He should be banned for what? What he described is only like 1% different from Floyd's current life. lol.

Yes, it is amazing how much a media member's opinion is criticized by NSB if they place Floyd ahead of his contemporaries.
