      Boxing Historians like Bert Sugar... who look at resume's.

      Not some guy on a website.

        So Reed tell me, what would the fight look like had it been at 160 (assuming bhop could have made the weight no problem)? Are you implying in the least bit Bhop would NOT have schooled pavlik in a similar fashion or what?

            It is pretty close but I would lean towards Roy. He was just absolutely incredible for an entire decade. Won titles from 160 through to HW and beat everyone there was to beat.

              How do you think a one dimensional cat like Kelly would do against a 2001-2004 version of Bernard?

                Not much different result but the beating would be worse.

                    Im not JUST blaming weight on this fight bringer.. .Im not... I saw the fight... I saw the angles, movement and activity Bernard gave Kelly...

                    But Jermain isnt slow on his feet either... and at 160 lbs... Kellys stayed with Jermain the entire fight..

                    I realize Bernard and Jermain are different style fighters... but Kelly looked slow, sluggish and flat footed.. and didnt look content to barely throw a jab... Personally... I blame the weight increase... at 166, he wasnt as good at 160.. and at 170.. he was even worse.

                    I also blame Bernard Hopkins.... for the love.... of all that is sacred.

                      (off topic)

                      Bert Sugar's top 100 list is pretty terrible, order-wise
