why because he got schooled by bhop? Listen, pavlik fights the exact same each and every fight! he only looks better when his opponent gets stretched out. He looked exactly the same to me when he fought rubio then he did against Taylor II and Bhop, only difference is he was fighting a corpse that wasn't willing to throw back.
A few pounds in boxing means very, very little and honestly, pavlik is much more natural at LHW (like I mentioned, the plan was for pavlik to move up in weight since he was struggling so badly to make 160). I agree that pavlik is better at 160, but that's because the 160 division sucks.
Bernard had a lot to do witht hat victory... but Pavlik looked like a zombie.. he looked slow, and he didnt let anything go... Its as much of the fault of fighting at 170, as it is fighting bernard imoComment

RJJ imo this isn't even worthy of debate, hopkins is one of those fighters who has faced fighters who were always not quite in their right weight division. whenever he did face fighters in the right weight division he lost (RJJ, calzaghe, taylor). the fights with winky, DLh, tito and even pavlik you could argue were against blown up fighters and the fight again tarver was against a dried out weak version of antonio tarver.
RJJ is a legend man he ranks just outside the top 10 bernard arguably doesn't even make the top 50.
you have >40 places between the two?Comment

fighting 10 pounds above your best weight limit IS a big deal.... because then you blow up even more on fight night...
