    I do.

    Hopkins fights younger, more dangerous opponents in his 40s than Mayweather does in his prime.

    What's your call here? :bbb

    Yup. His best wins trump any of Floyd's I think.

    Higher. Mayweather better fighter in terms of peak and H2H (IMO), but Hopkins longevity and accomplishments are ridiculous.

    Was prime Mayweather really a better fighter than the absolute peak Hopkins of 97-01, the guy who completely demolished peak Felix Trinidad, one of the most dominant and great middleweight champions of all-time?

    I have my doubts.

    He is also higher than Pac. Using your same logic.

    Only a raving ***** would rank Floyd higher than Old Man River.

    Yes i'd have him higher at present. I do think hopkins get's slightly overrated because of his longevity though

    Hopkins getting a draw (BHop won) at age 45 against a Champ 18 years his younger is more respectable than Mayweather UD Marquez.

    This age thing is bull****. If you ain't that good to begin with then age is irrelevant. Pascal was way over hyped since his victory against Chad.
