that one of the most amzing performances I have ever seen. I wonder what he is going to look like next fight. It seems to be up and down lately. And I cant even spot why. I thought it was workrate, I am now thinking it's speed.
I read he had a thyroid condition in the Wright and Calzaghe fights so that could have been a big factor in why his workrate was so low and why he clinched so much. It'll definitely be interesting to see how he does in his next fight.
As I said, we'll never know. What Hopkins is doing is amazing, never seen someone over 40 perform the way he did against Pavlik.

bernard, and i will tell you why. he is 43 still not getting hit, and his resume is soo much better than floyds. i can't make a comparison based on resume alone, and the fact that floyd left so early compared to bhop.
Oh really??
how is that?
True but when your 43 still fightin and still a dominant fighter...The only drive that could have gotten you there is the love for the sport. B-Hop's drive is $$, wantz to add to his legacy and enjoys takin on challenges...
Mayweather drive is just $$ and might not be anymore considering the fact that he didn't take 35mill for the DLH rematch. Last time I saw Floyd have fun in the ring was against Chop Chop

Hell No..Floyd ain't got the love B-Hop has for the sport...so best believe Floyd wouldn't be as good...I'm sure.
We'll never know, they're both great defensive fighters though.
Helluva point.
Mayweather is better at 30 than Hop was.
We will never know about Mayweather at 43, when the reflexes are not there anymore.
Exactly, Hopkins' reflexes should be much slower right now and he's still very hard to hit flush, it's amazing.
I wonder if Mayweather can avoid getting hit when he's 43.
Helluva point.

floyd....there's a difference in smothering your opponent and making them completely miss from point blank range
Yeah I would agree with this. Bernard is sneaky good in there defensively but you gotta go back to Pernell before you find a guy with the defensive skills of Mayweather.

yea but something also has to be said about fighting for 20yrs. and not being cut or knockout in a single fight
