In 20 years who will be more highly regarded: B-HOP or PBF?

Hopkins.

the fact that he's in his 40's and still somewhat of an elite is extraordinary.

If he beats Pascal, it seals the deal.

 

hopkins - fought and beat better opposition

 

Hopkins, PBF will be rightly seen as a more skillfull boxer because hes the best boxer in the business but Hopkins will be seen as more of a warrior and on at the higest standard.

 

Should make a poll

 

If Floyd fights and beats Pacquiao the response here will be quite different.

 

Clearly Floyd. The fact is Bhop was beatable in his prime. Floyd it can be argued at his best weight is the best ever. Bhop may not even be top 5 at his best weight ever. Plus there are a lot of guys with flashy styles through history who could give Bhop problems.

The same cannot be said about Floyd.

 

What will be seen as the better win?

Hopkins over Pascal?

or

Mayweather over Pac?

 

May over Pac is a vastly more significant win, and you know it. Hopkins over Pascal is far from a bad win, it's worthy of praise, but it's not on the level of a win over current mythological beast in Pacquiao.

 

I could see an argument for Hopkins.
The way he looked against Jones..... :scaredas:

But I suppose you're right.

 

Apparently you don't know BHop, or PBF for that matter...Beatable? Any man is beatable on any given night but, Bhop didn't look beatable in his prime...PBF has looked plenty beatable (See Castillo, ODLH, etc.), and ducking the toughest challengers makes him look like he knows it...
