    Not anymore I think. Floyd never had a draw. Take a look at his record. He faced the much tougher opponents too. Whereas Hopkins had twice to chance to beat Jermaine Taylor which never happened, Floyd had been dismantling stars like Arturro Gatti and upcoming star Carlos Baldomir. Fact. :deal

    floyd cant even hold bhops jockstrap.

    bhop is facing pretty much everyone out there,and schooling them.**** the bull**** judges.

    if floyd makes it to 45 and is still going strong ile be impressed.

    floyd cant even stay active in his 30s!.lol.bhop is the model of how to turn your life around,floyd is still a petulant little kid with a shallow mind and a questionable welter resume,and his undeafeted b/s is a lie,he lost to castillo in first fight.

    floyds inactivity and fighters hes not fought at welterweight means he doesnt come close to bhop.

    Baldomir was a very limited fighter. Not to mention he'd had 60 fights and was in his mid-30's. A slightly unusual definiton of an "up and coming fighter." :lol:

    Gatti is Gatti. A good fighter but nothing special, I don't think you're serious because these are the two names you mention when championing Floyd's record? Seems strange to me. He has better wins than the two you mentioned.

    And also, I don't really see how Baldomir and Gatti are comprable to wins of Tarver and Trinidad, for example.

    A fat Trinidad? Whom a Hopkins probably overweighed by 20lbs on fight night?

    Floyd has a better resume of opponents vs Hopkins. Fact

    Trinidad was a 3-1 Favorite and regarded as one of the best in the game at the time in front of a predominantly Puerto Rican crowd who prior to 9/11 booed the National Anthem regularly. Hopkins being the legend he is before 9/11 in the summer of 2001 went to Puerto Rico and stepped on the flag and said don't ever disrespect America. After 9/11 nobody booed again at MSG during the national anthem and many began wearing the flag to support America. Hopkins is just a rare breed of Legend.

    He is, but Floyd has a better resume of opponents than Hopkins has. Plus Roy Jones owned Hopkins in his prime. Do i have to add Jermaines name?

    This is where the greatness of Floyd shines. When you look at his record, he clearly owns Hopkins and Pacquiao who fought nobodies compared to him. Fact. :deal
