He will reign at 160 for a long time. Even B-Hop said that about him.
That's the goal.
B-Hop said that to him, too. This was an awkward style matchup, two weight classes above his own, and with poor preparation. Kelly can still be one of the best MW champions of all-time. Yes, I said it.
Could someone link the clip of the end of the fight where Hopkins walked over to Pavlik and wove a beautiful line of encouragement for him? Pavlik wasn't overrated or "exposed" (I hate the proliferation of that term in sports, by the way), it was just a bad situation for him. It's like saying that Foreman was overrated for losing to Ali. The younger, brute champ losing to a sly old veteran because of extraneous circumstances.
Hopkins personally stated that Pavlik is a bad dude who can reign at 160 for a long time, and be one of the greatest.
I think all of this pound-for-pound nonsense is ruining fighters. What ever happened to reigning in a weight class?
