    I think Hopkins being in better shape is a solid argument for his quality showing against Pavlik compared with the lacklustre one against Calzaghe.

    There's lots of examples of this in boxing..

    Ricky Hatton was clearly in far better shape when he beat Lazcano last time than when he got schooled by Floyd. Proof of this is - he landed 63 of 372 punches in 10 rounds against Floyd, whereas through just six rounds against Lazcano, he landed 124 of 342.

    This is conclusive proof Hatton's output was far more intense and successful. It has NOTHING to do with the far superior Mayweather stopping Hatton's game. Therefore a fitter Hatton, the one of the Lazcano fight, should have a great chance of reversing the loss to Floyd. Fact.

    And let's not forget the ass whupping Amir Khan put on Graham Earl. On that night he could have ktfo Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez on the same night imo, he was spectacular.

    Even though he wasn't landing anything really consequential Calzaghe's style wouldn't let Hopkins get as comfortable as he'd like to be. He wouldn't let him rest, didn't care if he looked ugly doing it, and made it a more physical fight than Pavlik.

    Although I feel that Hopkins is the greater fighter overall Calzaghe's style would have always been more problematic for Hopkins than Pavlik's. Pavlik's style was always kind of made for Hopkins, the straight lines, you just can't beat Hopkins if you need to be set to punch like that, especially if you're not very fast. It was just a question of if he could pull it off at 43.

    It is also a FACT that Joe is the worst fighter to have ever laced up the gloves, I'm not talking about worst of the unbeaten champs, he's actually down there with 'mullet boxer'.

    His 45-0 run is purely fraudulent since every single fighter he's faced had a severe off day. It is no coincidence either, Enzo practices voodoo and drains the energy of Joe's opponents with his magic tricks the day before each fight, it's all an elaborate sham. In fact, Enzo was so pissed at Jack Loew for his comments about his son that he did the same voodoo shit on Kelly last weekend. He would have done it for the Lockett fight, but he knew that would seem so ridiculous (Pavlik losing to little Gary) that his cover might be blown.
