Hopkins is 45 and Mayweather is 32.
While Mayweather retired for 2 years to let all the top welterweights beat each other, Hopkins was fighting the likes of Wright, Calzaghe and Pavlik.
Ever since Mayweather hit 140, he has cherry picked his opponents.
I can agree that Hopkins can be criticised for cherry picking now but give the guy a break, He's 45 and has fought alot of tough competition recently including the likes of Tarver, Wright, Calzaghe and Pavlik. That doesn't look like the resume of a fighter who has cherry picked over the years.
