Bernard Hopkins: I'd Rather Have Manny Pacquiao's Legacy Than Floyd Mayweather's.

Yes, I'm sure, if he was honest, Floyd Mayweather would've preferred to have been knocked out three times, including getting dumped face-first unconscious on the deck against Juan Manuel Marquez. And I'm sure he'd have preferred to have lost the biggest money fight in boxing history. And I'm sure he'd have preferred to have flown around the world to nearly bleed out and lose to Jeff Horn.

Who wouldn't?

Why on earth would anyone want to win all their pro fights. Make more money than any boxer in history. Win titles in five weight divisions. Have scored the only win over the biggest boxer in the sport today. And finish your career knocking out the biggest star in MMA and knocking out the biggest star in kickboxing.

When getting iced by Juan Manuel Marquez and losing to Jeff Horn and racking up nine losses/draws sounds so much better.

Mayweather beat the biggest star in the sport (Oscar) and replaced him. And Mayweather beat the biggest star to follow him (Canelo).

Hopkins has always been a poor sport. He'd have killed to be Mayweather. And Garcia's just pissed Mayweather beat his hero, Canelo.

 

I have to agree with you. But I will give Hopkins credit for taking tough fights in his 3rd act when he moved to light heavy and continued to fight top guys.

 

F

 

Floyd never lost and his record reads 50-0. He has more heart and brains than both Hopkins and Pacquiao and the record proves it.

 

Damn, you are salty. Pacquiao has the better legacy because he consistently fought better fighters, pushed himself more, had a longer career and had more exciting fights. He only got knocked out face first because he CHOSE to fight his stylistic kryptonite FOUR times. Mayweather consistently passed on fights where he was worried about the other guy stylistically. History will be the judge, and Floyd will be an afterthought in the Pacquiao era.

 

Pacman is obviously the greater fighter on the atg list. Even if you just consider his run under 135.

 

Floyd is a perfect example of a manufactured boxer. He only fights if everything is on his favor. I agree that he more brain compared to pacquiao and bishop as he knows when he should fight and who he should fight. It is so called right timingbut it better called cherry picking. But i don't agree that he has more heart. He ducked many fighters in their prime. At the age of 40 he was no longer competent to become a champion and has been useless to fight real boxer. In short he was already a gabage. While bishop and pacman can still compete with prime boxers and become champion

 

He does not have to fight in his forties because he has made so much money from boxing as his own boss not making other promoters rich off his back. Floyd was fighting longer than both Pacquiao and Hopkins because he started as an infant when Big Floyd started training him. He is not manufactured rather he is a natural so much so that even when injuries had diminished his physical capabilities the foundations of his skills set was to much for the other fighters. Skills pays the bill!

 

At least Pac never ran off to a "fake retirement" when WW was one of the hottest divisions.

 

The notion that Hopkins was scared of Toney is laughable to say the least and it could only come from the mind of a deranged individual such as yourself.

 

Don't you know? Hopkins would've lost to Floyd... imagine what Toney would've done to him!

 

Yep, the top 2 were tailer made to beat Floyd and Floyd dips for a few years? Yeah, I'm sure that's definitely a coincidence.

 

That dude likes Toney by proxy the reason being that hes from the same place as Floyd who he has a weird sick obsession for .Hes one sick puppy and its got to a point where the best most noble thing to do would be to put him down lmao.

 

To be fair, everyone loves Toney.

Although Olu is such a weeb for lil Floyd, it borders between homosexuality and disturbing heroism.

 

Olu is battling MVC for poster most likely to get jealous of both Floyd AND Ellerbe's 'relationship'.
