    And YES it does highlight how good Calzaghe is.

    Although Hopkins thinks he won the Calzaghe fight.. last night, he himself admitted he could have lost to Calzaghe by telling Ron Borges - styles make fights, Calzaghe throws a ton of punches
    I think the bigger question is what does it say about Jermain Taylor

    I think why Hopkin's was more agressive is because he saw Pavlik had alot more flaws than many thought,and he could read what Pavlik was going to do.It was a master class from the old dude.

    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.

    Doesn't say anything. He tosses looping punches around - that's the counter for lateral movement. He's actually a counter to Bhop stylistically dispute all of his flaws and bhop still managed to win both fights in alot of peoples eyes.

    And even for those who thought Taylor won,he really didnt,because Taylor has never been the same fighter since BHOP
