    I don't know who would win but just imagining that stylistic matchup is making me sleepy.

      I think the size would be too much, Hopkins easily stops him

        The fight wouldn't be good. I could see both beating each other via UD. Hopkins may be too big for Mayweather.

          Hopkins would be drained at 154

            The size difference wouldn't matter, remember Diego Corrales was a 6 footer. With both men at 154 it's Mayweather by decision all day - everyday.

              Despite the thread title I think this would have to be at a catchweight between 154-160. If that was the scenario, Hopkins by late stoppage or UD, Floyd is conceding too much in terms of size relative to ability.

              Mayweather is clearly the better fighter though.

                Honestly is so hard to say
                Mayweather never really face skilled, tall big opponents, nobody like hopkins. Closest was ODH
                So we'll never truly know how well he'll fair

                    Two great fighters and I voted Hopkins by KO. He is even smarter in the ring than Mayweather. At 154 pounds he would be much stronger than Mayweather. He could hurt Mayweather but Mayweather couldn't hurt him. Prime middleweight Hopkins was a good puncher as well as a very tricky boxer. Hopkins is just over 6 feet tall while Mayweather is 5ft. 8 inches tall so I think Hopkins has a good reach advantage as well. Mayweather might go the full distance but I don't see how he could beat Hopkins when Hopkins has so many advantages. Mayweather is a little faster but that wouldn't be enough to win the fight for him. Hopkins was pretty old when he KOed Oscar and he weighed 156 for that fight. I don't think making 154 would be any problem for him. Oscar fought both a prime Mayweather and a past prime Hopkins and I think he would pick Hopkins to win by KO.
