Credit to him.

He may be an utter prick and a bit of a racist but the guy can fight. A true ring great.

And he didn't win through headbutts and other illegal tactics. At age 43, he thoroughly outboxed and outfought a world champion in his prime!

For the first time, I acknowledge Bernard Hopkins is an all-time great.

: Respect bro

Hell Yeah he did..........

I thought he would win, but not every round.

He completely made Pavlik look like a rookie.
The Great B-Hop!!!!!

I was thinking before the fight that if hop can bring himself back a couple year and get his stamina back, he will beat Pavlik. Well he brought it back in spades!hehe

I knew Pav could lose, but not get so dominated for every minute of every round.

Awesome show. I hope Pav keeps his head up after tonight. It will be hard for him though as his style was completely disassembled.

great thread

like i said before the fight, fan of both, leaned towards kelly but wouldnt be disappointed at all if hop won...and he did it in impressive fashion

this has to cement him as an ATG

he fought an amazing; almost picture perfect fight...

he couldnt have done much more to win any more convincingly...

he even had pavlik hurt (in my opinion) several times throughout the fight...

hopkins needs to fight on...HOPEFULLY somehow, jones can beat calzaghe to give us a GREAT fight.
