Who's a better fighter p4p of all time and better fighter all around?

Bernard Hopkins or Floyd Mayweather? I think Hopkins is definetly better p4p and even all around in terms of skills. Just think about if Hopkins had the speed Mayweather had, the rest is history. Mayweather would be average without his speed. When mayweather can make a good fighter like Calzaghe with the speed and workrate he has not land hardly any telling blows the whole fight, than mayweather got something.

 

True. But I think Hopkins can fight more styles than MAYWEATHER. Mayweather also doesn't have the ring intelligence Hopkins has. Hopkins can a fighters best weapons away from them and make them fight a style they even didn't train for. Mayweather can't do that IMO.

 

Yeah but speed is only one thing. As far as over techinical skills, you'd have to favor Hopkins. Hopkins doesn't have the speed that Mayweather has and he's still impossible to tag cleanly, that's saying something. And Floyd ain't a better inside fighter than Hopkins either.

 

Ok if you wanna use that logic, Hopkins dominated a more primed De La Hoya than Mayweather did and he outboxed De La Hoya better than floyd not using his size adavantage. De La Hoya/Mayweather fight could of went either way.

And Taylor didn't really beat Hopkins 1 and 2 Floyd never fought a big strong athletic fighter like Taylor, so we don't know. I don't see Floyd fairing any better IMO, cause he's not as versatile as Hopkins.

 

And Hopkins fought him like he did have the power and still beat him to show people he was not only bigger but better. And De La Hoya was not ahead on all 3 judges scorecards, he was only ahead on 1.
