All that needs to happen is someone to realise that much like Mayorga and Tyson, if you are interesting and exciting people will pay to watch you, whether you have a few losses or not, thats what fighting is all about, not Hopkins style "look how I can hold and grab and call it clever boxing"
So you're gonna say he's not a clever boxer? He almost beat Calzaghe and Joe in my eyes is in his prime... Joe is a great champ.

Hitting and holding is not clever boxing... I like Hatton but his style is not "clever boxing" John Ruiz's style is not "clever boxing" Hopkin's ability to slip, slide, evade, force you to initiate then counter and hit you and then hold.... That's "clever boxing
