Who fought the tougher competition? Floyd Mayweather Jr or Bernard Hopkins?

Honestly it's not even close...and for anyone to really say it's Floyd, I mean what are you doing.

Bhop's run at MW was pretty uninspiring...but he had some good wins there too...Tito, ODLH, Glen Johnson...also fought Jermain Taylor twice and lost to RJJ....he got basically the best version of all of those guys too.

Floyd's run in his money May days was pretty uninspiring...but he had some good wins there too...we know the names, but also none of them were really the best version of themselves...he was very selective at this time.

In his earlier days, he really fought some good fighters too though...but what Floyd did before 147 does not compare to what Bhop did above 160...not even close imho.

Just look at Bhop's 15 fights after MW...and conclude for yourself how tough that stretch of guys is that he fought...this one is not even close.

But Floyd has his fans so they will be out defending his honor on this all day I guess...I guess that is what the TS wanted lol

I would add JLC to that list..

1993 Jones would go undefeated for the next 10 years on his way from 160 to HW - dominating nearly everyone he faced in the process. Not sure how any reasonable person could consider ole' man bum shoulder off the Power Pellets 2015 Manny Pacquiao to be the bigger challenge over a young damn near invincible Roy Jones jr. Doesn't make sense...

yes good call...the weird thing is questions like this end up with some people defending or propping up things that they weren't doing just last week.

Like some before have said that Bhop's run at MW was great...and now they are saying his win over Tito wasn't very good...but last week it was great? Like what...this site sometimes...

roy jones of 1993 is a stiffer test than 95% of fighters but you have to be gullible tot hink Mannys shoulder was bum considering the shots he threw.....nobody is throwing punches in that manner with a major injury. dude most likely had a strain that he aggravated missing punches, dude was taking selfies raising his hands, no complaints in the corner

Lol.

I don't necessarily buy into the bum shoulder excuse ole' man Pacquiao tried to run on us after the Mayweather farce. I just think that the 2015 Manny Pacquiao is better than 1993 Roy Jones argument is ridiculous - and I offer the bum shoulder excuse as evidence of such. Lol..

Pretty easily...you could argue a guy was in his prime from year 1 to year 5 for example...but he was really at his peak, or best level, during year 3...not really hard to understand.

Look up the definition of prime. Prime means at their best.

The question though is who faced the tougher competition...not who has the better wins.
