It was a close (somewhat questioned) points win. Hopkins was also 43. Even if it's better than any individual win of Mayweather's, the depth of his resume prevails.
Yet Hopkins is still winning belts and maiming young lions. Fact is, is that Joe's win looks better every time Bernard wins. Mayweather's resume has the depth of a cup of coffee! Tito, Oscar, Winky... I think I'll stop there.
Floyd is better because he ruined more fighters. Calzaghe ruined Lacy and Kessler. Hopkins went on to in titles after losing to him. Floyd ruined ODLH, Mosley, and Cotto. ODLH only beat Steve Forbes after getting Floyded, Mosley only beat Cano, and Cotto only beat Delvin Rodriguez. Floyd will also ruin Pacquiao when they fight after Pacquiao gets KO'd 2 more times or so.
LOL! Floyd drew with Oscar, went life and death with a shot Cotto (Margrito and Manny wrecked him actually) and Mosely damn near laid Floyd out. You total idiot.
And then Oscar went on to achieve nothing after that and Mosley got beat by Anthony goddam Mundine. Respect the career-ending skills of The Best Ever
He also ruined G. Hernandez, Gatti, Zab, Baldomir, Hatton, Ortiz, and Guerrero. Look at their careers after losing to TBE. Floyd makes great fighters look like ordinary fighters. Permanently. Don't even get me started on what he did to Demarcus Corley and Sharmba Mitchell.
Ortiz and Gererrero are NOBODIES. What were they doing BEFORE the Money fights? The Corley that nearly took his head off? OK...
Guerrero was winning titles in multiple weight classes. Don't forget both of those guys have wins over Andre Berto. And what's worse, getting your head nearly taken off or being beaten so badly by Mayweather that you go on to achieve nothing in your career?
Would you at least agree that Floyd's resume would be much better than Calzaghe's if Freitas, Casamayor, Tszyu, Spadafora, Cotto, Margarito, Williams, and Pacquiao hadn't shamelessly ducked him?
Berto? The LEGENDARY ANDRE BERTO? When DID Berto become this mythical Boxing figure? RG is nothing. Hopkins, Winky and Tito will go down as some of the Boxers of our time and all time. RG won't.
Floyd will go down as TBE because he always fights the toughest challenges and leaves no question about who the man is at whatever weight he fights at. Hard work and dedication baby.
Dont be pathetic. I have already noted Eubank, Jones and Hopkins had all had 20+ world title fights and beating fighters with that pedigree is of high quality. Remember you called me out on this thread and have once again had to be defeated
