    he lost the calzaghe fight clearly.

    i don't care if he landed the harder , cleaner punches.

    you can't win a fight throwing 10 punches a round.

      Yeah, Roy. Almost 16 years ago.

        Bull**** he did. That fight was close as hell.

        Any objective fan would be willing to admit that.

        I mean, of course, I had B-Hop winning 114-113, but what's a point difference?

        I don't have a problem with people scoring it for Joe, but that 117-111 score was bull****. The fight was much closer than that.

          It's tight, it'd be Bernard easily if he had just one more win against Taylor or RJJ or Calz, just something else. I think if Pavlik comes back in a big way Hopkins will clearly be the best, although I already think he is.

            That was Roy almost in his prime and a green BHOP....
            Who you got as FOTD? If BHP wins against adamek and IF pac captures 5th lineal title?

              That's be one hell of a toss up.

              I gotta give Pac his dues : I may not get along to well with the majority of his fans here, but the man knows how to fight.

              If Hopkins gets that Cruiserweight strap, and Pac gets his 5th Lineal title......

              Flip a coin, or go with whoever you prefer. It's really that close.











































































              Of couse I'd still go with B-Hop.

                Ill go with PAC but what really makes me take a second look at BHOP is his age.......... I can sleep with either one winning, but i prefer PAC being a lot tougher thing to do.

                  To each his own, I can respect you picking Pac.

                    he lost.

                    it might have been close because it was such a DULL fight but it was a clear loss.

                    close fights can be clear.

                    people are under the misconception than a clear loss has to be a blowout.

                    example......pac-morales 1. it was a close fight but it was a CLEAR loss for pacquiao.
