1. Henry Buchanan. Not one single name of note on his resume. 2. Edison Miranda. Biggest win Allan Green. 3. Shelby Pudwill. Not one single name of note on his resume. 4. Mikkel Kessler. Good win. Beaten Carl Froch. 5. Allan Green. no name resume yet again. 6. Sakio Bika. No name resume yet again. 7. Arthur Abraham. Best wins Jermaine taylor during super six. Then Miranda. 8. Carl Froch. Good win. Best wins Taylor, Pascal, Bute. 9. Chad Dawson. Good win. Best wins Hopkins and Tarver. 10. Edin Rodriguez. Yet again no name resume. You see how easy that was to do.
Don't forget his first career fight and loss to Clinton Mitchel was a white guy. It psychologically scarred Hopkins so bad that he disappeared for two years then dropped down 3 weight classes so he could beat up on smaller men when he returned to boxing.
bhop is trying to make a point but doesn't have all his facts straight. he's making a valid point though. it's really simple.... what has floyd accomplished that hasn't been accomplished before? nothing.
Floyd only started calling himself TBE after the Canelo fight, so Hopkins may have praised Floyd in the past but he's got the right to call him out on this TBE **** which he's only started calling himself a few monthd ago.
Cotto looked a shadow of himself since he got beat up by Pac, Yuri Foreman was/is ****, Mayorga was fat & old but was still competitive & Margarito was a cyclops.
"You mentioned Floyd Mayweather. Yes, he could go down as one of the pound-for-pound greats of this era, yet, he hasn't fought guys that I would love to see him fight. I would love to see him fight Shane. I would love to seen him fight Margarito when he didn't want to fight Margarito. You remember that. I would like to see him fight Paul Williams. Hey, listen, at the end of the day, when I look at guys, and some rappers that I ain't going to mention, that talk about gangsta, talk about street, talk about going to jail, talk about being hard on the street, that remind of Floyd Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather is no tough guy. And Floyd Mayweather can tell you about, and Ellerbe can tell you about when a couple of guys came up in Top Rank's gym and they was taking two to three weeks to scrub blood out of the stains of the carpet that was in there. Where was the gangsta then? See, they know I know." - Bernard Hopkins
Nice try. But floyd has been calling himself the best for many years now. If you followed his career you would have known that. Try look for another spin on what hopkins said to help u prove a point. :roll:
There's a difference from calling yourself the best & the best ever. Come on the ***** when did Floyd call himself TBE before the Canelo fight?
It was just a California state title even though Garcia was the recognized champ by the NYSAC. The fight was only for 10 rounds.
