Give credit to Jermain Taylor and Joe Calzaghe!!!

[ferocity]

These smaller men beat the bigger and great Bernard Hopkins. The old man beat a smaller man tonight at a big advantage weight but Jermain Taylor and Joe Calzaghe beat Hopkins at the weight Hopkins was at the time so get these men the credit they deserve. I should mention Calzaghe move up in weight to fight the naturally bigger man in Hopkins.

Wonder if Hopkins will fight the top dog in his weight class in Chad Dawson or is fighting someone in his weight class too much of a risk?

I know styles make fight, but I still don't understand how taylor didn't beat Pavlik. Hopkins made Pavlik look one dimensional, it was more then just that weight.

[ippo]

I don't give credit to them.Hopkins beat taylor in the first fight and he beat joe but was robbed.

BECAUSE TAYLOR DOESNT HAVE DEFENSE.........AND DID LOTS BETTER WITH THE BASIC DEFENSE HE USED IN THE SECOND FIGHT(arguably won...)

taylor beat pavlik in the rematch imo

Pavlik appeared to be sluggish right from the beginning. He wasn't in good form tonight, he looked much better in the second Taylor fight at 166.

hell yea my man jermain one of my other favorite fighters in the sport today give props he beat hopkins far smaller and far at his prime twice. honestly though I thought hopkins won BOTH fights but it was close so at least taylor gets props. but pavlik was rocked badly lost all 12 rounds was deducted a point and almost knocked out and ready to go at any moment

Unlike Pavlik, Taylor threw punches with Hopkins he tried harder but even so really didnt dominate Bernanrd.

Thats how i seen Pavlik today and he looked bad in the second Taylor fight too but he won that one.

Hopkins won this fight cause he is the natural bigger man. And he's a great fighter too don't know what water he is drinking. At 160 it'd have been a differnt fight with Pavlik being so much strong and his output would be that much better.

They deserve a lot of credit and this fight proves that triangle theories don't work in boxing.
