ESPN.com currently ranks Hopkins fifth and Pavlik sixth, and the winner could easily climb into the top three. Fights between fellow pound-for-pounders don't happen every day (even though this will be the third such fight for Hopkins in a 15-month span, incredibly enough), and it'll be exciting to know when the bell rings that two truly elite practitioners are going at it.

Thats taken from an espn article.. and on thinking about it.. its true.

it never happens where guys at the top level and are highly p4p ranked meet.. but to have three in a row.. and having beaten tarver as a big underdog previous to that is some great match making from bernard..

Cant disagree too much with that folks
