Who will history rank higher Hopkins/Mayweather/Pacquiao

[i got the keys]

Between these three who will history rank higher?

Each have an argument in their favor....

Hopkins unified 160 and moved up to have success

Mayweather went undefeated, multiple weight classes

Pacquiao fought many classic fights with top level comp, moved up multiple divisions


They'll likely retire around the same time "officially" and are the closest to ATG status at this stage.....(an outside argument can be made for Roy Jones, though he's surely f'ing that up right now, true fans know how great he was)

[Larry the boss]

depends on who is doing the ranking..all lists will be different depending on who is doing the ranking and what they prefer

[12TRIBEsRiSe]

Floyd or Bhop but they are all great

[SterlingStained]

i prefer great fights vs great prime opposition.

that means pacquiao.


if you prefer exquisite spoiling tactics, you go with bernard.

floyd DESPITE not leaving great exciting tapes vs great IN PRIME opposition, at least left great tapes for defensive teaching....

resume wise,

bernard is obviously behind both floyd and manny ATG rankings wise....

now, who ranks higher?

Floyd or Manny?

If you are looking for a pc answer its floyd with the "perfect" record...

If you want the real answer its pacquiao.

Pacquiao went up the hard way unlike floyd who was babied by top rank,

Pacquiao had to go through prime MAB, MORALES, and Marquez just to get babied by top rank....

Floyd has always been protected from the day he was borne... borne to a pro boxing family, in the most powerful and richest nation on earth....

Pacquiao has great in prime opposition along with leaving us great exciting legendary fights vs legendary prime opposition.

Floyd left us boring tapes vs pat prime opposition......


At least when roy jones jr. was king and fought bums, he knocked bums out and put on a show....


Floyd fights past prime bums and cant even put on a show. He fights them like he's fighting prime tommy hearns.....

Mayweather was babied??? lol well these current fighters need to be babied like that then.......but anyway this is why i said it depends on who is doing the ranking because people are clearly biased

babied? he went for his first title at 21 years old with 17 fights vs a guy who was undefeated at the weight and borderline hall of famer, i think he is WBHOF

was lineal in 2 divisions with 11 defenses by age 25....if he was babied the entire sport are embryos


let the emotions go and appreciate the talent and skill bro

[Fangedgrowl]

I would say Floyd because of skills and record , plus 5 weight classes. Pacquaio a close second. 8 classes, had some losses but fought everyone he could. Hopkins distant 3rd. Hopkins was a good middleweight champion. Moved up because he couldn't beat Jermain Taylor. Beaten pretty easy by a prime Roy Jones. Fought well at 175. Had some good wins, but the Dawson fights with the Taylor fights will keep him below these two. Pac lost to marquez closer to his prime and Marquez and Morales are both hall of famers. Taylor and Dawson are not enough said.

yes floyd was babied.

are you gonna argue the fact that top rank is notorious for babying their blue chip prospect????


smdh....


come on larry, you said you were trying to be a more "OBJECTIVE" "FAIR" poster. you even got all lives matter on your sig, risking your blackness for fairness...


YOU CANNOT ARGUE THIS POINT IF YOU ARE BEING "REAL" with this change.....


YOU CANNOT.

Yes i agree Roy was better than all 3 of these guys. Roy fought in 6 weight divisions. Yes he started at 154 , but grew quickly to 160. Beat or destroyed everyone at 160 , 168, and 175 till he put on all that weight to beat Ruiz. Then lost alot of weight to beat Tarver weight drained, but the stress had accumulated on his body. After the 2nd Tarver fight he was never the same. He was the total package. The closest to him as far as all skills is Pacquaio, but of course Pac lost to Floyd so that is why i rank Floyd higher. Hopkins is considerably lower on that list. Guys like Pac, Roy, and Floyd don't lose to the CXhad Dawson's and Jermain Taylors' Sorry.
