See T-97's reply.
STYLES MAKE FIGHTS.
5 pounds = nothing.
Bye.
I know that styles make fights but 175 is not Bernards best weight and he showed that by easily making 170. At 175 Bernard BARELY lost because he got tired. At 170 he is in better shape, faster, and doesnt get as tired. Bernard was fighting at a constant pace and throwing lots of punches and didnt get tired when he fought Kelly at 170. And he wouldnt get as tired against Joe at 170.

Before someone says it) wore him down.
I suppose my wording wasn't great, but you get what I mean. When you want a break, and someones on top of you, throwing punches, it wears you out mentally and physically.

Joe had never fought there, a career SMW. Hopkins had fought Tarver at 175, and Winky at 170 in his last 2 fights.

Everyone looks like **** against Winky, its what Winky does. But against Winky he didnt get tired, and with Winky defense they both held alot.
All that I am saying is at 170 Bernard beats Joe. He beat Joe the first time and didnt get the decision because he got tired and so on. Bernard at 170 is in better shape and doesnt get tired so easily. Bernard win a wide UD in B vs Joe 2.
Bernard put together a DREAM TEAM for the Calzaghe fight. Bernard was more than good enough at 175. So good, he was holding the Ring belt.
Calzaghe was trained in an old shed by a failed musician.

I just feel that at 170 Bernard would have been a bit faster, and not get as tired. He had more muscle at 175 with Mackie, and muscles take more oxygen and get tired quicker.
I know that 5 pounds is not a big thing to us, but 5 pounds is boxing is like 15 pounds to a regular person.
When you are an athlete in ANY sport you must be at your physical best to achieve peak performance. Am I wrong? Well, Bernard was not at his peak that fight.
And 175 is better for Joe not Nard because Bernard fought at 160 his whole career, and skipped SM. Joe was the heavier fighter over their entire career.

But the whole thinking of Hopkins being better against Pavlik than against Calzaghe is wrong IMO, it's just a case of those guys styles. Anyway, it's no knock against Hop that at 43 years old he couldn't keep up with Joe by a slight fraction, no one has so far!

FRKOOOOOOOOOOOO lol different day, same **** in ur mouth lol...anywho i had B. up a round...And seeing how he REALLY only opened up id say less than 10 times in that fight amazes me how he could keep it close..JC activity of ineffective shots got him the decision but Hop dished out the punishment, it would only make sense for them to fight again but guess what lol....Its Calzaghe we are talking about here he isn't exactly a Spartan when it comes to stepping up to the plate
