Im not argueing who was better I believe its Floyd but I cant see how anyone can think Floyd fought better opposition
Kovalev better p4p than anyone Floyd has fought? Kovalev isn't even officially the #1 in his division right now, let alone a p4p great...
I didnt say he was a P4P great I just think he marks for Hopkins a better opponent then anyone Floyd has faced. Kov was likely a stone heavier than Hopkins on the night, a stellar amateur career and one of the most feared punchers. As someone mentioned earlier Hopkins fighting Kov is a similar ask to having Floyd fight GGG, a fight that I could never see Floyd taking. And I think anyone with some sense knows Kov is the best light heavyweight around
