so do you not agree that Pavlik did not seem himself? that he fought with the same fire we've seen him fight with against other opponents?
It's a bit hard to fight with fire when your opponents head is transferred from ontop of his shoulders to diagonally out of reach and below belt level, it's also hard to fight with fire when you have to chase your opponent down, but the range which circles away from your right hand, also closes in quickly with a pot/clinch combination and is worked on from there. Pavlik was never in the fight because he had no other plans to combat Hopkins who always does his homework and has a PLETHORA of methods to shut down a 'real fight' from breaking out.

are you suggesting Hopkins isn't a dirty and messy fighter? Did you see his fight with Wright? It was a debacle. He's a dirty ass fighter and to pretend that saying so is somehow inappropriate, or that he's entitled to fight the way he does, is ridiculous. The guy is the definition of stink. If everyone fought the way he did there'd be no professional boxing.
I cant believe Winky kept his composure through that, what the fuck was up with that ref laughing and patting Hops' forehead?.. Maybe his whistle blowing cousin is right, Hops has got a line of 'special refs' that are susceptable to a percentage.
some of you guys are too stupid to debate me so you resort to insults and name-calling. Little Neil is the biggest offender.
now little neil, let's stay on topic: boxing (if you can't discuss "it" little neil should temper his anger and refrain from insulting someone who's here for one purpose, and only one, to discuss boxing). please do your best to not expose your dysfunctional personality. i think your best chance at that is to confine your input to boxing related topics.

notice you'll never find me in TAA. I've got friends. I don't need little Neils and hanger-oners like you under the false impression that you can judge my charcter or discuss anything save boxing. And by the way, my doubts about that are growing.Lots of naive fans post a lot of crap here.
