Who has the better legacy???
Mayweather. Hopkins best wins are all against smaller fighters. Bit harsh considering some of the names on there but it has to count against him.
I must agree four out of those seven names were all smaller opponents or fighters whose best years and known for, were in smaller weight classes
Damn..haven't really looked at his resume since whooping shane...i say floyd...shane mosley makes a nice addition...
Pretty damn close. Maybe a slight edge to Mayweather, but I wouldn't really argue people picking Hopkins.
Mayweather, 5 weight class crusader with a plethora of names that p4p beat Hopkins title reign in most aspects. Even though I consider Hopkins a top 50 ATG and an ATG Middleweight, I have to go Mayweather.
The problem here is that often people will regard Hopkins wins better because he was the underdog. When you are an underdog, your wins get multiplied in magnitude. Therefore is Hopkins win over Pavlik really better than Mayweather's wins over Hernandez? Is the Trinidad win really better than the win Mayweather's over ODH and Shane Mosley? Hopkins is a great fighter but he get's a lot of credit because he was the underdog in some of the big fights he wins. Mayweather never gets that credit because he is always a massive favourite and will be against Pacquiao also. For me its Mayweather by quite a margin.
