Best P4P Mayweather or Hopkins?

[SweetPea]

Barnard Hopkins?? Are people forgetting that he was twice beaten by Jermain Taylor?

For that reason, Kelly Pavlik deserves to be as one of the top 5 p4p then.

Mayweather but Hopkins has beaten better fighters and Hopkins was robbed against JT and Castillo was robbed against Counterfit.

Why are people bringing up Mayweather fighting Hatton who isn't a legit ww? Is Mayweather a legit ww when he comes into the ring at 147 pounds? Was he a legit SWW at 150 pounds?

If he look at accomplishments, Hopkins is best hands down!

Really? Has everyone who thinks Hopkins ranks higher forgotten about Floyd's career at 130 and 135 where he beat everybody. Everybody. Even if you feel that Floyd should have 1 loss on his record (which I do), he avenged that loss. Bernard couldn't avenge his loss to Taylor.

Hopkins biggest wins:
Tarver - one his most impressive performances
Wright (Questionable win)
Tito (naturally smaller)
Oscar (younger, but a smaller man)
Joppy

Floyd:
Chico
Castillo
G. Hernandez
C. Hernandez
Oscar (older, but the bigger man)
Hatton
Jesus Chavez


Floyd's stretch of fights from 2001-2003 is about as impressive as it gets - Corrales, Hernadez, Chavez, Castillo 1, Castillo 2, and just for good measure Sosa and N'Dou.

Now, he has beaten Ricky and Oscar is successive fights. Won the lineal championship in 4 weight divisions and beaten the recognized #1 LWW, albeit at WW.

Sorry, man, I hate him, but you can't deny he's earned his #1 p4p status.
