Floyd disrespects Hopkins - who's greater between the two?

He got busted up by Emmanuel Augustus so that's pretty bad. After the first fight, Hopkins toke Allen to school in the rematch so badly that Allen was being an actor. Rematch was fought very cautiously and was boring until the 7th-8th because Hopkins didn't want to lose the opportunity to face De La Hoya. I also like how people downplay the Trinidad win like Trinidad didn't have a belt, wasn't dangerous, and wasn't coming of a brutal ko win. Had Hopkins lost, people would say he wasn't that good off to begin with. I just don't get people.......

 

silly question ... Floyd is above SRR so how could Hopkins be higher?

 

I think Mayweather's recent behavior has overshadowed his early accomplishments in many peoples eyes.

If you look at both records/accomplishments with a microscope Floyds is defintely better, but many here are either too young to remember the early Floyd, or are focused on his recent vacations, accusations, etc.

Floyd really has become his own worst enemy, hope he gets everything straightened out and turns it around with his last few fights.

 

Floyd didn't take on the top tier in his prime...is he likely to take them apart at 45+?

 

hopkins lost his 1st fight which is worse then catching a bleeding nostril in which you call busted up.

anyway hopkins has been disrespecting floyd forever hes jealous so be it
you cry when floyd says something back

so i guess its true

people only here the gunshots but never see the slap that caused it

 

Floyd Mayweather has the superior resume.


Floyd is the superior fighter.



Any questions?

 

I have a question.

What does "Floored" mean?

 

This isn't close to call or anything remotely of the sort. Floyd's record is padded with has-been's and never-were's. To be fair, Hopkins has a lot of fluff through middleweight BUT that was the only competition there was to offer at the time. Floyd had a choice to face better competition and faltered at proving his "greatness" every time by facing stiffs. B Hop's is greater based off his post-middleweight run alone. No joke.

 

I love how he doesn't bring up the Tarver fight or even the fight with Pavlik which I and a lot of others thought he would lose

 

Yeah his post middleweight run that included Kelly Pavlik, Antonio Tarver, a fat winky wright and uh uh uh, oh yeah the corpse of Roy Jones Jr.


GTFOHYFB

 

Anyone of you ***gots want to dispute this?

 

Floyd in terms of talent + resume definately.

He's just got a lot more haters than Hopkins so will always lose a poll like this.

By the way does anyone really think Floyd would lose twice to a fighter at Jermaine Taylor's level?

 

lol

 

This could be a potential argument if Hopkins actually lost either fight. But anybody who isn't blind would know that he spanked Taylor. Twice.

 

Even Stevie wonder saw that hopkins lost to taylor-TWICE
