    Manny has the better resume and is the better fighter overall.

    So yes, it makes sense why Hopkins would prefer to have Pacquiao's legacy.

    I like the irony in the defensive minded, weight cutting, happy to feast on a wasteland of a division for a decade Hopkins saying he would take the career of the all action dynamo over the other 'hit and not get hit' all about the money fighter.

    I think you can definitely make a case for preferring Pac's career but it's funny to hear it from B-Hop considering his career path.

    Ellerbe's a goddamn moron. So what if B-Hop got knocked out by Joe Smith? Does he think his boy Floyd would've been able to stand up to a full-blooded Smith right hand?? I'd even back the Kovalev who B-Hop fought to knock Floyd out and I'd favour Tito, Super Joe, Tarver, Dawson, Pascal and Pavlik to also beat Floyd. I think they're just too big for him. But I've always favoured Floyd to beat Roid and I have Floyd winning that one by KO.

    Too bad Floyd didn't keep the same mentality at Welter that he had at 130 and 135.

    Anyone with a brain knows Hopkins hates Mayweather.

    What about Shawn Porter? Robert and Mikey? Abner Mares?

    It's not that shocking for someone to think Pac has a better resume. In fact, most people rate Pac over Floyd.

    Ryan Garcia also thinks Pac's resume is better.

    Well, then Floyd has at least have something in common with them and it's losing since he lost to Castillo and Maidana. Though most boxing fans would prefer if he had the half of heart of either Hopkins or Pacquiao.

    Man you out of all people know Mayweather and Canelo are the most hated fighter's so a lot of different people or fighter's are going to be saying a lot of negative things...

    Robert Garcia also said Canelo was going to be greater than JCC? I guess that's true aswell?
