C'mon people. Bask in the knowledge that your boxing IQ is superior to many on this forum who picked Kelly over B-Hop. Post with PROOF and REJOICE! :nutkick::nutkick:
To those too lazy to click the link.
Hopkins has the perfect style against such a conventional 1, 1, 2 fighter like Kelly Pavlik. Hopkins feasted on conventional fighters by nullifying their jab, lateral movement, counter right hands and clinching when needed to. Too bad Hopkins is closing on 44 though. But yeah a good strong, tall fighter with a good jab like Kelly that has pop is hard to beat. IMO he's an Emmanuel Steward prototype of a fighter. Manny trains alot of his fighters to fight like Kelly. Klitschko, Cintron and his MW prospect Andy Lee. None of them are as talented as Kelly though.
