            Read my post again - that's what I said, "Banks to Adamek"...

            Tarver was kind of special, he was the first to defeat and KO Roy Jones.

                  experience is increadibly valuable in this sport and if those old timers can keep their bodies in shape than good for them let em humble these young guys.

                  I don't think it's bad for boxing it shows that this is a deep sport and I think pavliks loss to hopkins will force him to up his game and improve his career in the long run.

                    well once the older generation retires, the skill level will even out.
