    Hopkins is more skilled/intelligent. Pacquiao is more talented.

    But all things combined, Pacquiao is the better fighting machine.

    Pac's accomplishments speak for themselves, he's better.
     
  7. Bernard is a better all around he sets you up and gets you in traps he can box counter punch you slug it out and fight you dirty and he can beat you wile hes backing up

    Pacman all he does is throw a bunt of punches at a time hoping to catch you
    with his power or just out point you

    Hopkins was more skilled at his peak, but it doesn't mean he's the better or more effective fighter. That goes to Pacquiao.

    Pacquiao's timing is amazing. He doesn't just hope to catch fighters by throwing punches aimlessly all the time.

    I rank Bernard higher all-time though based on accomplishments.


    I'd say they're about equal in terms of ability in the ring.

    Yea but I have a hard time believing you thought Dawson was gonna beat Hopkins and win that fight, because I can tell you had that fight continued that wouldn't of happened. Only thing that could saved Dawson in that fight was the judges, the same way it saved jermaine taylor and joe calzaghe. The referee saved Dawson.
