Hopkins criticises Mayweather (video)

[jas]

I'm confused... doesn't sound like he's talking about Mayweather here. Could be anyone. From Ward, Rigo, Bradley to Golovkin. Hopkins has never been shy about talking mentioning Mayweather's name in the past. So this could be him throwing shots at a whole heap of people.

Yes because rigo, ggg, ward and Bradley have called themselves the best ever........

What's Mayweather's best win?

The better question is what Mayweather win do posters not retroactively downgrade after saying the opponent would beat floyd and floyd was scared of him?

It still holds true.

It's a day old

[Skip Bayless]

hopkins going in, he is right. these modern boxers make too many ***in excuses, just ***in fight.

I can't say I've heard of that fighter.

[Yes Sequitur]

It was only months ago that B-Hop was labeling Mayweather as one of the top 3 greatest fighters of all time. You only have to youtube "Hopkins Mayweather Top 3" to find the video.

Since then, Floyd's camp baulked at Hopkins' proposal for a mega-money fight at a catchweight of 160lbs, Bernard is clearly a little salty and is suddenly ranting about the same man he praised only months ago.

[UTEP]

Hopkins spittin' that truth.

lol wut?

seriously, what great fighter has floyd really beat the last 5 years? Answer the question honestly. I mean it has to be marquez who was barely getting his feet wet at 135 when floyd made him go up two divisions and cheated him on the scales to boot.

Even natas answer of oscar de la hoya is telling. Really? oscar is the last threat that floyd faced? the oscar who was semi retired and fighting once a year and only became a credible opponent for floyd because what he beat ricardo freaking mayorga? did you not see oscar in the forbes fight?

Who else has floyd faced that you would honestly say was a great fighter?

shane mosley? the guy who was 1 year and half inactive going on 40 but almost knocked floyd out?

victor ortiz? robert freaking guerraro? seriously?

a cotto that went through the ringer vs margarito and pacquiao but was suddenly prime according to floyd fans because he fought at 154?

tell me, what win can floyd and floyd fans really be proud of?

Canelo Alvarez? catch weight canelo alvarez? a guy whose best win is austin trout?

come on, be honest.

What great fighter has floyd faced these last 5 years? hell what great fighter has floyd beaten IN HIS ENTIRE CAREER?

HE HAS NOT FACED A SINGLE HALL OF FAME FIGHTER WHO WAS IN THEIR PRIME!!!!!!

Legendary post. Green K deserved.

[Joshua Child]

Just as a note, I don't think Armstrong won a title at middleweight. I'm not sure he even fought at middle? Maybe somebody else will know.

I was pretty sure it was feather, light and welter. Still impressive considering there were no in-between classes but Hopkins doesn't really even know his own history lol.

B-hop raises some good points .... But what he's stating can be applied to all boxers, not just to those who proclaim greatness.

Another point,and it should be noted that both B-hop & ODLH have long held some serious jealousy towards Floyd. So, B-hop's comments should be taken with a grain of salt, whenever directed at Floyd.

Remember, after the Canelo fight B-hop was trying to get in line for a Floyd fight -- Where were these statements then???

Who else is proclaiming they are the best ever??

Floyd would respond look at my PPV number versus yours. Smh
