    PBF fought and destroyed a big strong prime Chico corrales and castillo twice...he fought baldomir and still fought judah who was the linear ww champ b4 he lost to baldomir... and delahoya is no joke when he is 15 lbs heavier...and alot of people thought hatton would beat him and he schooled him...he would beat margarito EASY....unfortunately he retired b4 margarito coommanded any money by beating cotto...to say he is a wuss is stupid and he is the best of our generation cuz he dominated all but 2 fights and has never been down....bhop fought an ubdersized ODH barely beat winky in a snoozer and pavlik was not much different than hatton for mayweather....he lost twice to taylor and lost to jones and calzaghe...he is great but floyd is the greatest

    difference is hopkins is 43 and not suppose to be fighting like a prime fighter pavlik had to pu on weight but hopkins is 17 yrs older

    floyd is a prime fighter not fighting other guys who match up evenly hatton looked terrible at 147 theres no excuse and what other top ww did he fight not zab because zab only had a belt because of the corrupt ibf and baldo might have been ranked up there but we no he wasnt that

    Hopkins outweighed Pavlik by 6 lbs. on fightnight. Do you really think Floyd had more than 6 lbs. on Hatton? The answer is no. Personally, I'm amazed by Hopkins. He's 43 and still fighting good comp. However, Floyd has also been fighting good comp. However, neither one of these guys are cleaning out their division. Again, Tarver is the only LHW that Hopkins has fought at the division. How the hell can you put down Floyd for fighting 1 guy below WW and 1 guy above WW and then heap all this praise on Hopkins for beating multiple guys coming up in weight? There is a huge difference between these guys in terms of size yet somehow they have a common opponent.

    Both of these guys are going after the biggest money fights out there and both have been fighting some pretty good fighters while doing so.

    ODH way smaller and a much easier fight for him with his size than mayweather

    eastman...give me a break

    taylor...what has he done since beating bhop twice

    tarver....just got schooled

    joe c...bhop got beat fairly easy

    wright ...worst fight I have ever seen...winky was old and blown up

    pavlik...obviously overmatched PBF could beat him now

    pavlik not much differant then hatton for mayweather?

    How about the fact mayweather was near his prime when he fought hatton? how bout the fact that pavlik is much closer to hopkins size then hatton is to mayweathers (if both are in true fighting shape lol) How bout the fact that Pavlik beat the guy that took hopkins belts from him at middle?

    Hopkins accomplished a LOT more beating pavlik then mayweather did beating Hatton IMO

    that being said... Hatton is a very very good win for Mayweather... imo. Hatton is still the best at 140 until proven otherwise.

    Mayweather imo has nothing to be ashamed of fighting and beating hatton and oscar... and is impressive imo, but he retired instead of facing his toughest challenges... and thats what people will remember.

    your nuts only names on jones resume are bernard hopkins and james toney.....john ruiz not a good name for the resume and he does have the jump to heavy but again he fought john ruiz but iwont take anything away it was a great accomplishment but he would not beat hopkins now when he did beat him hopkins was green it would be totally different now
