    Predict an upset that would happen because "styles make fights"

    Hopkins was a heavy underdog going into his fight against Pavlik but won, arguably because his style gave Pavlik a hard time. What would be an example of a fight where someone would be upset because styles make fights?

    Here are some examples:
    Hatton loses to Ricardo Torres
    Mayweather loses to Margarito
    W. Klitschko loses to Arreola
    Taylor loses to Miranda

          I think that is exactly why RJJ is gonna beat Calslappy ! I believe his style is tailer made for him ! To be honest if RJJ really seen a threat I don't think he would've to the fight at this point in his career ! I believe he sees something he can capitalize on !

            I agree 110%!!
            I think Jones has already seen the outcome of this fight ..

              Hopkins beats Pavlik
              Margarito beats Cotto

              ... wait a minute

              Man, always being right is fun.

              Anyway:

              Spinks beats Margarito
              Judah beats Hatton
              Winky Wright (MIA?) doesn't lose to anyone at 160, including Pavlik.

                depends on which hopkins you are talking about... a potshotting hopkins or a combination-punching hopkins. everyone was expecting the potshotting hopkins but we got the combo-punching hopkins instead.

                I give pavlik a chance of beating a hopkins who stays in a defensive shell. pavlik has no chance against a combination-punching hopkins.
