    Hell no Pavlik couldn't have laid back and tried to counter. You kidding? You mean throw less punches than he actually did Saturday night? **** no. He didn't throw any punches and if you don't throw any punches against Bernard Hopkins, YOU LOST. Hopkins laughed at him - he wore him down then decided to eat a couple rights in the late rounds just to see what it tasted like. Then REALLY started beating Pavlik up. No fighter with two left feet is ever beating Hopkins, especially if he isn't throwing punches.
    Not to put too fine a point on it...he couldn't have done worse than he did. Bernard wasn't going to set down on his punches and risk getting caught, so I don't think a KO would've been a big worry...a KD maybe, but I don't think Hopkins would've hurt him bad enough to stop it. My point was that if Hopkins is coming forward, he'd at last be taken out of his comfort zone, and would have to open up a little to make a fight of it, and maybe, just maybe, Pavlik would've been able to win some rounds. Problem with that theory, though, is that Pavlik isn't exactly a brilliant counterpuncher. He can counter a little, but his main game is to wear his guy down with work rate and pressure. So in effect both fighters would've been out of their game, but since Pavlik was already pretty farking confused, I don't think he could've been any worse off than he was, and maybe even better.

      Stickman's right.

      Kelly couldn't have done any worse, so why not try plan B?

      It's simple. If something isn't working out, you need another plan. If that doesn't work, try something else. If that doesn't work... run!

        Hopkins won that fight the more I re-watch it. Calzaghe punches aren't really punches

            Horrible decision, Hopkins landed real punches Calzaghe didn't. He won't even give him a rematch

              Why didnt you answer my question? How are you rewatching the fight?

              You're not really gonna bait me with your **** Flawless, its so obvious you try to be blatantly ****** to get a reaction.

                I did watch it live and thought Hopkins won. Of course Calzaghe won't give him a rematch it was lucky decision.

                  B-Hop won but problem is that he ran out of stamina in the end.

                    I thought you said you changed your mind when you rewatched it. How are you re-watching it?

                      At first I thought decision could have gone either Hopkins or Calzaghe way or a draw. But I re-watched and realised that Hopkins won and a rematch is needed. But Calzaghe won’t give it
