I think Floyd is still the best defensive fighter of the generation. Hopkins second. Hopkins does rate over Floyd though, great performance tonight. Let's see how he does against Dawson. If Hopkins gets wins over Dawson and Bute then he rates over Roy Jones for me and gets ranked into the top 30 all time.
Hopkins had to fight the ref and the judges ! The ref was a disgrace ! Pascal kept holding, rabbit punching and the ref warns Hopkins??? I held my breath thinking they would try to steal it from Ex. Great job, a true fighter for the ages... And I too had Hopkins 115-111
Great performance by B-Hop. The man has an answer for everything in the ring. One of the highest ring IQs and mentally tough fighters ever.
To do what he did at 46 in the most dangerous sport, that's crazy I don't even know how to describe it. Hopkins a TRUE legend and ATG.
being a huge pac fan i have to say hopkin's legacy is better than pac and floyd. what he did tonight was inspirational.
Once in a lifetime kind of fighter tbh. To do what hes doing at his age.... can only stand back in amazement. To me he already clearly surpassed Roy and is a top 30 atg right now.
Have to agree with you there man. This fight was tense as hell, the referee was total crap. Can't believe Hopkins overcame all of that in his age to do what he did, it's absolutely insane. P.S. My score was 115-113 for Hopkins. Pascal is a good fighter and a good person though, can't take that away from him and hope to see him go on.
