Who's the more skilled boxer - Mayweather or Hopkins?

Precisely

 

Can't be more clear than that.

 

Hand-speed is largely something you're born with.

 

I'd say PBF has a slight edge skill wise and of course he has the edge physically gifted wise. Hopkins is just the best ever when it comes to making the most out of what you got

 

Yep :good

 

Yep, thats a good statement too. Which supports what I said, Hopkins is more 100% skill, while PBF is skill plus athleticism to go along with it.

 

i give hopkins the nod, seperating skill and physical ability. Mayweather is still incredibly skilled, but not as much as BHop

 

PBF is more skilled, but Bhops is more versatile as he could always box or slug it out toe to toe, if he wanted.

 

That applies to both men

 

I am laughing at the guy that said Bhop goes to body and head. As if Floyd does not have a dynamic body attack. Where is the tie option. I would say Floyd is more skilled offensively and about equal defensively. So Floyd.

 

i'd say putting aside physical ability, Hopkins takes this hands down. I mean Floyd is up there, but this is Hopkins' MO

 

Floyd IMO

 

Mayweather, marginally.

 

BHop is more skilled....Toney is more skilled than both, but he's just a waste haha.
