Better ring IQ - Hopkins, Mayweather or Marquez?

Who has better ring IQ from these three personally I would say Hopkins. The reason is because when I see Hopkins fight I dont see anything thats amazing about his speed, power but Im amazed by his ring intelligence and how snidy he is in the ring.

 

Hopkins.

Have you ever seen Hopkins as beat up as Mayweather was against Cotto?

Hopkins doesn't just sit on the ropes.

If that was Margarito instead of Cotto, Mayweather would have been finished.

You have to move against some guys. Ortiz put him in the same predicament.

Ortiz was stronger than Mayweather anticipated and was effective against Mayweather on the ropes.

That's why there was an arrangment that he takes a dive, and takes his girl. That's why he was in that commercial.

 

If Mayweather chooses to sit on the ropes against Guerrero, he'll make it a much harder fight than it needs to be, and we'll see him look beat up again even if he wins every round.

 

Goes Hopkins, Marquez and Mayweather, in that order for me. But there's little between to be fair.

 

Marquez is smart, but he's a ****in steriod cheat. The dude had a 4 month training camp. 4 MONTHS! for a 40 year old man.

I can't respect that dude. I mean, he drinks his own ****, and eats his own ****, and now takes steriods.

That's a new low.

Altough, I wouldn't be surpsied if Mayweather is on roids too. He has that type of character.

Hopkins though...the best of this generation.

 

Fixed that for you.

 

hopkins
mayweather
marquez

 

You can post all the faces and pictures you want.

Doesn't change the fact that Marquez cheated. If you're cool with that, that's you.

But I think it's disrespectful to cheat right in front of people as if we're some dumbasses.

I don't like Conte either.

Donaire, Ward and all them should drop that mother ****er like a rock.

 

Well... i guess you have to go for the guy that has figured out a way to beat everyone he has ever faced. The fact Hopkins couldn't figure out how to beat Taylor convincingly puts him down a little in my opinion.

Mayweather, Marquez, Hopkins

 

Clean test, that's the only fact there is.

 

marquez didnt cheat his tests came back clean

 

I wouldn't say he couldn't figure it out, I just think that style had become more difficult for him to beat at that stage of his career. We forget Hopkins has been old for a long time :yep

 

This should be easy for all of the "non-haters". Which one of these fighters gets hit the least and has never been put on the canvas?

 

Very true. He was, what, 38 at the time?

 

Hopkins.

He's gifted with less natural talent -- speed, power, stamina, etc -- and at the almost age of 50, is still able to control the pace of fights. He's very cunning.
