IMO I think you can make a case for both fights, but if I had to chose out of those 3 options....I would have to say both are equal to each other.

Its takes a lot to keep fighting when you're 45 against the true champ at a weight division that you've never fought at before...You're risking a lot when you move to a heavier weight at that age...Considered that some boxers really dont fight in their 40's...fighting at 45 is an accomplishment of its own...Then you have to pack on the weight the right way to maintain your mobility, punching technique, and stamina...So for Hopkins to pull out a win under these conditions says a lot and should be acknowledged.

Now Pacman on the other hand, Pacman is going up against a power house in Migeul Cotto which is no pushover by any means...So Pacman to pull off this victory will say a lot about Pac's ability as a fighter...Pacman has proved many wrong in the past so with him beating Cotto will be a great victory for him.:good

So I really just cant place one victory over another given that they both have their task cut out for them.

Now if I had somebody put a pistol to my head...I would have to lean towards Hopkins given that he's 45 years old and still making young fighters look foolish.

Good post. :thumbsup

I'll probably ***** out and pick equal anyways because they're both great wins and I wouldn't want to make it seem like I was disrespecting one over the other. I'd say the nature of the performance would probably be the deciding factor for me if it were a life or death decision.
