    If pac and hopkins was the same weight class, hopkins style would be a nightmare for pac to deal with.:patsch

    Styles make fights.

    It doesn't make Hopkins the better fighter.

    Got to be B-Hop for his longevity, doing what he's doing at his age deserves respect.

    Don't get me wrong I'm a massive Pac fan and what he's achieved is phenomenol but I have to side slightly with Hopkins.

    Really :huh

    Technically I would say Hopkins is far superior to Pacquiao and I'm a massive Pacquiao fan.

    Pac is a great fighter but his main asset is his speed not his boxing ability.

    He said fighter. Not technician. Fighter encompasses everything - skill, technique, speed, power, athleticism, etc. When all that is considered, Pac is the better fighting machine. He's proven this with the overall competition he's faced, and how he's dealt with them. Hopkins, be it because he's had lesser opponents before him, hasn't come close to racking up impressive victories in the same manner Pac has. Very few people have, to be fair.

    in terms of boxing career, or personally or what? I say in terms of boxing, I respect Hopkins more and his discipline to the sport.
    But he's a controversial person and says some racist stuff that would make you lose respect for him also
