    Didn't Bernard lose to Jermain Taylor when he was Mayeather's age? I love B Hop, but to try to suggest that Mayweather isn't in his league is completely ridiculous. B Hop himself said that Mayweather was the best fighter of the era.

    Oh. Well that is all true, IMO. There is no way in hell Floyd will be regarded in the same league as Leonard, Hearns, Duran and those guys. He simply doesn't hit hard enough. But it's all fodder for boxing historians I guess.

    Hopkins KO's over Trinidad and DLH dump all over Floyd's resume and career.

    Tessitore is sounding borderline racists on this telecast, no objectivity, way too emotional

    why would he throw if he was winning the exchanges?

    compubox counted all those flicking jabs to pac's gloves.

    accdg to compubox, castillo threw more and landed more but the judges scored it to floyd .

    to me pac won the fight, he clearly won the exchanges. compubox scored more for floyd with those flicking jabs to pac's gloves.

    im not surprised pac didnt press more in the late rounds.

    No ****. Of course they do. The point of boxing is to hurt.

    WTF do some people think this is? Dancing?

    No it doesn't. Those where two good wins for Hopkins, but neither guy belonged at MW.

    Trinidad was killing himself to make Welter. MW by the time he faced Hopkins was his weight class.

    Either that or drain.

    Racist? lol

    He named guys like Robinson, Leonard, Ali, Pryor, Hearns when citing all-time greats whom he believes to be better than Floyd.

    He clearly favors the fighting dispositions of those who try and close the show - his exact words. "Fighters who close the show."

    Now Tessatore is making an excuse for Manny, he claims Manny had a right shoulder injury and Nevada didn't let him take a cream before the fight. Wow, still nothing about Floyd's performance, just excuses

    Dayum liar, I guess u were dreaming. Pac landed one shot that stunned Mayweather, which was in the 4th, but he wasn't hurt. He was still fully aware.

    Don't know what you want. He ran. He didn't fight. He didn't fight a prime fighter.

    He's still never fought a prime ATG.

    How high can he rate with this resume?
