    How is that sad? What better way is there to evaluate where a guy stands all time than his actual accomplishments?

    Bernard "the exectioner" Hopkins. He fought the best of the best and didn't ducked nobody like pretty chicken mayweather did :lol:

    This one was so easy. Hopkins is a warrior and comes to win and fights the best and has beaten the best. Mayweather does not fight the best. That is why Mayweather has to come back and fight again. If he does not he will not be remembered too well in boxing history. Bernard goes down in history with the rest of the ATGs.

    I voted Mayweather. Titles in many weight classes. Too many losses for Hopkins. The Pavlik win salvaged a string of boring performances but it's not enough. They are equal in the mental aspect but Mayweather is the more talented of the two. P4P Mayweather would beat Hopkins worse than Jones did because he would use his brain as well as his physical gifts which are on par with Jones.

    That's because floyd didn't face tough challenger after moving up from lightweight division.

    2000-2007
    floyd's opponents-,Diego Corrales,,Carlos Hernandez,Jesus Chavez,Jose Luis Castillo 2x-Phillip N'Dou-DeMarcus Corley-

    140-n up
    Arturo Gatti-Sharmba Mitchell-Zab Judah- Carlos Baldomir-Oscar De La Hoya- Ricky Hatton

    b.HOP-
    Antwun Echols, Keith Holmes, Felix Trinidad,William Joppy, Oscar De La Hoya,Howard Eastman, Jermain Taylor(2x), Antonio Tarver,Winky Wright,Joe Calzaghe,Kelly Pavlik

    Look at b-hop opponents- prime tito-prime delahoya-prime taylor-pavlik
    that's pretty impressive :good
