Hopkins criticises Mayweather (video)

[4Corners]

For Fliyd to take a supposed "risk", he needs to fight Middleweights according to people lol

[Kagami Taiga]

You are out of touch if you disagree. Sorry man, since Oscar I see no real risk other than maybe Shane since he was coming off big Margarito win. Hatton, Victor Ortiz, Guerrero, Cotto and Canelo aren't exactly what I would consider risk taking fights.

So how about this, u tell me the fighters in the last 5 years with better wins.

[JDD1]

it really doesnt make any sense. i think a lot of it is he doesnt fight who ppl want him to fight. but since dlh floyd has fought 3 legit p4p fighters: mosely, jmm, and hatton. jmm may be one thing, but lets be honest, even at 147, jmm is better than most fighters out there. now to say hatton and shane werent risks when he fought them is just plain nonsense. if u cant pick fighters off the p4p list, guys who are champions, then who the hell can u fight? nevermind the fact he went up a weight class to fight two of the best guys there. how many 147lbers u see doing that? who at 147 rite now would u favor over canelo??

I do think floyd gets much more criticism for not fighting "who he shoud fight" than other fighters that do the same thing.

What would you call the risk taking fights? Would your opinion of "risk" change when the betting odds came out and those fighters were 3-1 or 4-1 underdogs?

What do the odds even mean?

Broner was huge favourite over Maidana was that a risk?

Hopkins was the underdog against Cloud and Pascal are you telling me they were risky fights?

Because if they're risky fights then how the hell aren't Canelo, Hatton, Mosley etc risky fights?

I think your missing my point.

I am not saying those fights weren't risky. what I'm saying is if I see 2 fights and both opponents are 3-1 underdogs I'm thinking the favorites are facing the same basic amount of risk.

With floyd specifically it seems thew amount of risk is determined differently.

Look at the subtle body language. Hopkins puts both of his hands on Mayweather, a subconscious display of control.

[AltairLOM]

Im a BHop fan but there is also a video of him calling Floyd top 3 of all time.

[RubenSonny]

Yeah because Murat, Cloud and Shunenov are so much better!

Floyd just fought Canelo who's at least as good as Stevenson in his last fight but that was so 6 months ago.

Canelo is definitely better than chinny Stevenson.

So how about this, u tell me the fighters in the last 5 years with better wins.

Interesting to see a reply to this...

Yeah I agree aswell I'm just saying for the sake of the argument.

The different level of standards are just ridiculous.

In that time span Floyd has fought multiple P4P fighters, multiple champions, multiple Top 5 ranked guys yet somehow takes no risks?

I want to know a fighter that does take risks.

What's Mayweather's best win?
