reason why hopkins fights smaller fighters

[El Dominicano]

Popkins got better with age. That's why he beat guys like Wright, Tarver and Pavlik.

Sure he did. Watch B-Hop vs Echols, Johnson...tell me B-hop wasn't no beast or that he didn't have 15 round stamina with a serious workrate. Be serious, his speed and power ain't the same. Reason why B-Hop is still a top fighter is because of his ability to clinch, inside game and he'll get a lil dirty.

Other then that, a prime B-Hop was never too preservative towards his energy. So...

So I take it you were one of the very few who criticized DLH for fighting a "smaller" Pac for $$$$ then.

huh?

Not a void at all bro, he wasn't able to bully Cal like he did to Pavlik. Weight helps alot in boxing.

Did he out muscle pavlik or did he out box pavlik????? The honest answer is the latter. He didn't grapple or wrestler pavlik or push him into the ropes or use any of those common tactics that bigger fighters do to get an advantage. No he used his boxing smarts and skills to outbox and outclass the guy. Besides, pavlik is not smaller. Sure they fought at a catch weight of 170, but pavlik's last fight was at 166 and he's a big middleweight as it is, in fact prior to bhop pavlik stated he was having problems making weight at 160 and was planning on moving up anyways. They could have fought at 160 or even 154 and hopkins would always win (and you know that).

I won't deny it, yes I do. Pavlik isn't great to begin with, now if it were to be Winky or Tito or even DLH, I won't agree.
