To an extent it does I suppose. I mean styles do make fights, but Pavlik made Bernard look like he was still in his prime, while Joe at least made him look his age.
That in itself deserves accolades.

Then all the JC haters will have to admit that he aint that bad ! or will there be someone else that he would have to beat b4 he is considered World Class ?
American's are narrow-minded, just look at their performance at the Olympics... they are just not good enough at the moment, but just try and get them to admit it.
If you are going to create an alt account at least try not to make it too obvious, just shrinking your avatar a little isn't going to fool anybody.Quote:

Beating RJJ will be a piece of piss compared to Hopkins. Jones is no threat.Quote:

I agree with what other posters have wrote, Joe would have also took Pavlik to school. Pavlik needs to get back to 160 and fight duds like Duddy.
More like hopkins got lucky to have one judge in the bag for him. Calzaghe won a clear unanimous decision. it wasn't close.It wasn't a blowout but it wasn't close.
