Yes. You are right. I don't have hopkins above JMM, in fact, I think Marquez has been ****ed over by taking the mayweather fight on a huge scale.
well he was made to look very ordinary in that fight :-( He looked like a bum in there, after a good performance, he will get the respect he deserves
he went from FOTY to being an overmatched opponent. I hate seeing **** like that, but he made his fattest check, so it makes sense I guess.
of course, if you win a round against PW you are in top 20 automatically... didn't know for that rule, a?
Mayweather came back after 2 years and was PFP #2. No way does he keep his top 10 ranking. Does that sound right? Fact is, Hopkins is just better than most of the guys fighting. That can't be ignored.
I hate to say it, but he was my favorite fighter to watch going in to that fight. And afterwards, I still couldn't help to be turned off by him. It is so shitty how that happens too. He really needs to get his ass back in the ring and kick someones ass to put that loss behind him.
mayweather came back from being p4p 1, and beat p4p number 2........ Hopkins has losses to taylor and calzaghe...... How many times has floyd lost?? How many weight divisions has floyd dominated??? Dont compare bhop to mayweather
That's your opinion about the loss to Castillo. It's silly to compare BHop to Floyd. Their careers are completely different. And Floyd gets criticized for avoiding his toughest challenges, yet BHop gets praised for "fighting anybody"....I find this to be completely backwards. After Hopkins lost to Jones, he stayed in a rather weak division his entire career, with his best wins over great fighters who were prime at WW. For Hopkins, who's frame is very concievably bigger then Jones's, he continued to fight smaller men his entire career. People love the mystique around Hopkins and his attitude and professionalism and his devotion to the sport, but the fact is the guy gets too many passes. Floyd on the other hand when he was coming up was calling out everyone and their mother and only became a the "cherry picker" he is today when he started making big money.
Hopkins has been in the PFP top 10 for over a decade. Welcome to the sport. And you think Floyd has a better resume than BHop?
