Floyd was much more offensive minded when he was fighting guys his own true natural size. Educate yourself.
The crazy thing about this matchup is that I just said that Bernard is the greater fighter than Floyd on another thread, and he is big time. But if you match them up p4p I would pick Floyd to beat him on decision. But Bernard comes to fight and has beaten the best and fought the best. Floyd has the talent to be an ATG yet he has not fought anyone really great and beaten them which would make him one.
OK buddy. And I wipe my ass with these kife threads. Why waste your time arguing over a fight that never happened nor will ever come.
The only fighter still fighting atm that couldve beaten Mayweather in a P4P match up - Mosely, if both were in their prime, Mosely probably takes this..
another case of ATG vs all-time p4p... ATG, bhop ranks higher bec of his accomplishment but in terms of head to head p4p, it's PBF, he is so much skill and know how to pace himself and at the same time win the early rounds..
Floyd by UD. Fighters with a speed advantage are Hopkins' kryptonite, and in a p4p matchup, Hopkins would have his size advantage, which he usually masterfully used to bully opponents, taken away from him. Hops is immensely skilled, but not enough to overcome that. Floyd may well be the best Hops would've ever faced in terms of executing a winning gameplan; combine that with the better speed and reaction time, and it's impossible for me not to think Floyd would be the one to emerge victorious.
