For Those who wonder why Bhop is still so highly p4p ranked.

[Taeth]

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

Yes you can

because you say its bernards 3rd fight with someone in the top 10

right well if he wasnt in it wouldnt be, and he shouldnt be in there these days.

So you can disagree with it.

And when pavlik beats him, then Bernard should be nowhere near it, there are better guys that should be in there than him

and he is not top level anymore, he is just someone who runs off allnight, headbutts, and goes down wasting time like a cheat.

LOL who says Pavlik is automatically going to win? THats a stupid assumption to make.

How can you say he isn't on the top level, He fought a close fight with Calzaghe(#2 p4p) and I feel he won that fight because he was landing the better shots. he beat Winky Wright(who wasi n hte top 5 p4p when they fought). He beat Tarver at LHW who is faster, and hits harder than Pavlik. You say there

Hopkins is still good , but his best days are behind him, is his p4p ranking too high. Its debatable as he didn't do too bad against Joe.

I see Pavlik beating him, but I also think Bernard has a good chance of KO'ing Pavlik
