    Two of the better technicians over the years. Bernard came in against ODLH at 156, Floyd would probably come in around 152 or so. Floyd always seems to win legit fantasy matchups, this is the closest one I can think of at the moment among active fighters. Who takes it and how?

    Floyd would have no movement at all with 156 lbs on his frame.

    Is there a way to edit poll titles? I meant to say current Mayweather prime Hopkins

    Because there's no way Hopkins could handle a prime Mayweather?

    He still wouldn't have any movement as he was two lb's less in the Hoya bout and was as flat footed as he's ever been in his career, that being at the tail end of his absolute prime.

    Hopkins beats him, wide. He's far too advanced and has a massive size advantage, not that he's particularly used to enforce it. I can't be bothered thinking about whether he'd get the stoppage or not, probably depends on his mood more than anything.

    Hopkins by UD...imagine a 24/7 for that fight, classic.

    No. I never said that. I say current because Mayweather is at 147 and has been for the past few years. You could make a case that Mayweather's prime was in a different weight class. I'm simply saying current so that the jump in weight isn't ridiculous(for those who think Mayweather's prime was at a lower weight class) and would therefore be a Hopkins blowout.

    If Hopkins has his legs, he wins. Very very boring fight
