Keep plugging along, Floyd. They said the same thing about Hopkins.

[Easy-E]

Hopkins had 20 defenses at middle weight right?? means he didnt go up a class here and there avoiding other fighters at middle like Mayweather did at 140 and is def doing now at 147. Hopkins didnt have to fight Taylor but he did. HE WASNT DUCKING JONES/TONEY WAS THE POINT HE WAS DICUSSING CATCH WEIGHTS JUST TO MAKE BIG MONEY FIGHTS.

Hopkins stayed at a mediocre division for 20 defenses, and was content not to take chances.
We now know he could have moved up to super middle and light heavyweight with relative ease.
And he turned down the biggest purse of his life not to fight Roy.

"And he turned down the biggest purse of his life not to fight Roy."

Just like FLoyd turned down the biggest purse of his life to not fight Margarito.

so its ok for hopkins to make the big 20 title defence for his legacy, but not ok for PBf (if thats what he trys to do) to become there first ever 5 weight champion under the age of 30?

OMG..5 WEIGHT TITLE HOLDER..NOT CHAMPION..CHAMPION MEANS BEST IN DIVISION...AS IN "RING" CHAMPION...DO YOU EVEN WATCH BOXING?

"And he turned down the biggest purse of his life not to fight Roy."

Just like FLoyd turned down the biggest purse of his life to not fight Margarito.

He never officially turned it down.
And plus, Hopkins went on to fight Morrade Hakkar, while Floyd will either fight Mosley (all time great) or spinks (5th world title)

You do know the ring is just a magazine and not a sanctioning body, right?
Do you even watch boxing?
