    Green with asterisk. I don't think both canelo and Hopkins were green. Both jones and floyd are too damn athletic for them.

    And yet they try that **** with a 26 year old Lomachenko. Poor little guy, how was he supposed to know how to box? 20 years of amateur boxing and two Olympic Gold Medals did not prepare him for the monster that is Orlando Salido.

    Or they try that **** with Usyk. "Wow, can you believe he's champ after only 10 fights?" The mother****er's 30!

    The win was better for RJJ because of the level Hopkins was at. Clearly Canelo wasn't elite when he fought Floyd.

    It was still a sublime display of defensive boxing by Floyd.

    36 and masking PEDs. Don't forget that.

    Roy failed a drug test for steroids, smart guy.

    Hopkins at this point simply because he went on to be an ATG. Canelo isn't right now.

    Good point from both sides. While obviously Hopkins is the greater fighter compare to Canelo, I'm a little surprise on the lopsided choice here.

    Jones beating Hopkins at middleweight was probably an easier task than floyd beating canelo at junior middle being that's floyd fifth weight class and canelo being the largest fighter floyd have ever faced.

    Canelo was a puppy and an easy win for Floyd. No one but Canelo-nerds gave him a chance to win. Hopkins and Jones were much more evenly matched at the time.

    Still unheralded after Jones.. Hopkins put his name on the map after the tournament.. but as I said Hopkins is the logical pick at this point
