    This is exactly what Im talking about when I say Hopkins frequently gets a free pass for his behavior.

    *He called out Toney, then priced himself out
    *He called out RJJ in 2002, then priced himself out
    *Was called out by Dawson for 3 years, then jumped once he lost to a much less talented fighter (I understand this pass, b/c of his age)
    *Middleweight was absolutely **** when he reigned, Tito aside. Hakkar, Carl Daniels, Robert Allen three times, the corpse of Joppy.

    Oh **** this is between Hopkins Middleweight reign and Floyd Super Featherweight reign?


    Boy I could see some ******s picking Hopkins overall resume, but Hopkins middleweight resume vs Floyds super featherweight resume LOL! Then matching talent for talent? YOu mean the guy who got blitzed by a one handed Roy Jones vs the guy who blitzed Diego Corrales like he was a nobody?


    I didnt realize Echol and welterweights got you so much props.




    Ok here goes "Whoever picked Hopkins doesnt know **** about boxin"

    Floyd at 130lbs based on the fact that I see him as one of the toughest fighters of all time at a weight class. Hopkins is incredible at 160lbs also, so I'll go "FMJ - Close, but I feel sure".

    Hopkins didnt exactly get blitzed by RJJ. And there's a BIT of a difference between RJJ and Chico Corrales.

    It's easy for me to imagine Hopkins giving Haglar and Monzon all they could stand.

    PBF looking across the ring at Arguello? I just can't see it.

    Manny Pacquiao Has Driven Floyd Mayweather to Insanity

    Floyd Mayweather is losing his mind now and may need a straightjacket before this is all over.
    Like the strange character Norman Bates in the classic Alfred Hitchcock film “Psycho”, Floyd Mayweather’s ill behavior has been exposed for all the world to see. Everyone knows he’s scared to fight Manny Pacquiao and his world is falling apart. The insane racial rant last week was highly disturbing but the latest accusation that he’s beaten up his girlfriend again are far worse.
    Obviously, Mayweather is a

    Though many people disregarded those comments as bitterness towards Mayweather, they are more than likely very accurate.
    Any man who talks venom against another man like Pacquiao and then runs and hides from him, is a psychologiocal coward.

    I will stop at listing those two examples.
    As the fame and fortune of Mayweather have increased, the more deformed and demented he has become. He obviously is ill equipped to handle success and what we are seeing now is a train wreck waiting to happen.
    I’ve studied a lot of boxers and people over the last 20 years, so please let me play amateur doctor. Mayweather is so mentally devastated by the avalanche of media pressure and criticism over the last nine months – after years and years of having everything his own way – that his state of mind might really be crazy now. Totally Insane. I believe Floyd is so 1000% certain that he will be brutally and savagely knocked out by Manny Pacquiao – the worst nightmare he could ever imagine – that his subconscious will do anything ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING to kill the fight now.
    Like Norman Bates, the subconscious of Mayweather is in control now. And Floyd’s uncontrollable fear is expressing itself with insane actions like the racist rant and now the alleged beating of the woman. It could be possible that

    by a good clean honorable sportsman like Manny Pacquiao who the jealous Mayweather viciously envies. Like Norman Bates’ mother in his subconscious hated and envied all women. Mayweather’s fear of Pacquiao is so monstrously enormous that he will absolutely do or say anything to kill the fight, even if it means going to jail. Or, I fear, perhaps even worse, perhaps committing suicide.
    I believe Mike Tyson was in a somewhat similar state in the time period before he was being forced to fight Lennox Lewis in the early 2000s. Though he spoke to the contrary and like a crazed man (“Eat his children”), Tyson knew he had no chance to beat the mighty Lewis and repeatedly behaved in a nutty way so as to kill the fight. He delayed it with the press conference attack and tirade, he ducked it by fighting the Nielsens, Savareses and Bothas of the world, but eventually the powers that be forced Tyson to take his beating. And once he endured the brutal and savage KO loss to Lewis, all the burden of having to live up to being Iron Mike Tyson was lifted from his shoulders. The loss was actually a blessing in disguise and Mike Tyson, though he is said to be financially broke now, is happy and content and at peace.
    Mayweather, like Tyson, is living in a psychological hell right now, because he can’t deal with fear of being knocked out by Pacquiao and the unknown consequences of how that loss will alter his self-image, career and future life. Mayweather is borderline insane right now. Like a spoiled child he has been protected from the dangers of Cotto, Margarito and Pacquiao all his life, and now he does not know how to handle or confront his worst fears.
    That’s my take on Mayweather. Ellerbe and Haymon, you can send me a fee for analyzing the maniac you support and take profits from, but won’t come out to publicly defend. And why won’t you two come out and defend your “friend”?
    Let’s hope Mayweather can find the courage to overcome his massive fears and do what he needs to do. And that’s suffer and endure the beating he has to take. “The humble shall be exalted and the exalted shall be humbled.” Like the example of Mike Tyson, there still is hope for Mayweather – if he has the courage to overcome his fears, and fight the fight he knows he can’t win. He has to have faith that sometimes there are blessings in disguise.


    But if Mayweather can’t find the courage, he could end up being a tragedy.



    Note : Not my idea. Soemone wrote it, I just posted it. Beside I don't agree. I believe he is a happy man because he has Ellerbe.

    Is it also easy to imagine Hopkins giving Roy Jones all he could stand even though Roy Jones beat him 1 handed? Lets be honest Hopkins only had a reign at middleweight because Roy left. Hell I think Hopkins admitted he'd lose to Monzon.


    Mayweather beats Arguello. Too fast, too versatile at 130.
