Hopkins criticises Mayweather (video)

You would pick MW over the Hawk:think


Just look at him as an ametuer against Hearns ,look how he just smothers him..


I don't think Floyd keeps him off him in the pros .His head movement would have frustrated the hell out of Floyd ..

First of all, this post is ****ing stupid. I'm not sure if you're just trolling or serious.

What is your definition of a bum or a paper champ? Diego Corrales was the reigning IBF Champ, having won his belt from undefeated Robert Garcia who was the top Super Featherweight in his division. The fight between him and Mayweather was for the lineal championship.

Genaro Hernandez was the long time Super Featherweight champion, Castillo was the top Lightweight in the world and Baldomir was the Lineal Welterweight champion. Manfredy was NEVER a champion. The rest of your post is just idiotic, and I'm not even a Floyd fan.. atsch

 

The Black Mamba was a good fighter in the day.
I'm not taking anything away from Mayweather Sr. or Jr., but SRL was a better fighter than both generations of Mayweathers.
Floyd shoulder roll is great in today's talent, but against a fast, slick combination puncher like SRL, it wouldn't be any where as effective.

 

What are you basing this on? He's the mentally toughest fighter in the sport.

 

Oh yeah who's tested that mental toughness ?

 

Sr. isn't the black mamba. That's Roger.

And SR didnt have nearly the offensive game or precision and accuracy that his son has.

If he gave SRL a good fight, I'm sure that PBF could have taken it.

Recognize them both as ATG's and not just one.

it's all hypothethical. The same way you say that FMJ wouldn't be effective against SRL. I could just as easily say that Leonard wouldn't be effective against Floyd's defense and counter punching .

Floyd's defense isn't just the shoulder roll.

 

This game is so easy to play. I try to avoid doing it but you hit the nail on the head. :rofl:rofl

 

He has. The man had a piece of **** life growing up, all that bull**** and somehow still managed to become the greatest fighter of his generation without drinking or smoking, or doing drugs. Dedicated himself to the sport, and has outclassed almost every opponent he's been in with.

Went through the whole Castillo fight with a torn rotator cuff. Which I've had before playing basketball and it's some of the most painful **** ever. The slightest movements are painful.

I've seen people crack under far less. You don't get that far without being mentally tough.

 

People who moan about his opponents make no sense. He just went up in weight to fight canelo.. a guy who could apparently beat him. Then after that whos really left for him to fight. Dont say pacquaio or any of the top rank guys because for whatever reason we all know those fights don't happen.

It only really leaves sergio? he'd be labeled as old and injured but because it's cotto fighting him it gets missed and cotto gets praise. Do you think cotto would be going up if martinez hadn't been so inactive and looked so poor v murray? no chance.

Golovkin? A guy who has fought one previous world champion, he hasn't proved himself... offers floyd a smaller payday for the risk and if floyd was to win it'd just be oh he was just a hype job...

Theres actually only one fight the secures his legacy in truth and thats pac but as we know it just aint happening for whatever reason. Any other fight will just be seen as a payday because the comp level just aint that great

 

This is all cool, but hopkins needs to stop pretending that he cutting big checks when he not. Hopkins sounds like he knows what he talking about, but I would be surprised if he even raking in 10 million a year.
