Greater/Better: Holmes or Hopkins

???

 

Definitely Hopkins.

 

Hopkins achieved more but Holmes was better at his peak IMO.

 

Well it's a no-brainer as Hopkins already beat Keith easily...








No but seriously I would give it to Hopkins over Larry.

 

Hopkins for me. Holmes was the better H2H fighter though.

 

Holmes is a HW, which means by default, Hopkins is grater

 

I think I agree with whomever said that Hopkins is greater, but I'd rate peak Holmes higher than peak Hopkins.

 

I'd rate Holmes' jab, heart, intangibles and power as better than Hopkins', but not much else. I think Hopkins was a far better technician, an even harder worker and more talented guy - at least in terms of speed, defensive radar and relfexes.

 

Hopkins for both. Better, not by much. Greater, definitely.

 

Bhop for both. I like Holmes, but hes a bit overrated. Probably should have a few more losses on his resume, and he struggled mightily against some average fighters. Dont get me wrong, he was a great fighter, but i think bhop had more nuance to his game

 

Id even say hopkin was a better puncher, or at least a comparable puncher

 

Holmes was getting overrated, but I think he's beginning to be underrated again.

 

Nah, Holmes was a better puncher.

 

I dont see it. None of them were huge punchers, but bhop, at least the younger version, seemed like he had a bit more pop. I think people rebember too much the older version of bhop, where he turned into a true powder puff

 

B-Hop is an underrated puncher in his prime, but I think Holmes was a bit better.
