I promise you, boxing will be ten times more competitive, and a billion times more exciting if guys like Hopkins, RJJ, DLH, and Trinidad just ****ing retire. Even Hop and RJJ fans know I'm right. I don't wanna hear some reply like "well, as long as they're getting paid, they should do it". **** that, they're destroying boxing.

How does Pavlik-Hopkins not prove anything. Dont act like that wasnt a huge upset.

Hopkins fighting Pavlik actually seems to have proved a lot since before the fight many favoured Pavlik greatly. Jack Loew even spoke about the prospect of Kelly being the first man to knock Bernard Hopkins out. Now we have people like yourself making nothing of the win, further proving what a great fighter Hopkins is because you wouldn't expect anything less of the guy despite the size of the task.

Pavlik moved up 15 pounds from his normal weight. The only reason why many believed Pavlik would win was cuz he was on a tear and Hopkins was coming off a loss.

Ur full of ****. Everyone thought Pavlik was gonna kill Hopkins. Dont act like it was no big thing.
As for your thread. So what? These guys are ****ing old and have already proven themselves. If they wanna take some gimme's for the money they've earned that right.
Why would they wanna fight young up and comers right now anyway?

Mulvaney: Williams feared and avoided

http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=4050640

Paul Williams has been bouncing up and down the weight divisions to land the elusive big fight. But he's packed on the pounds for a shot at Winky Wright.

Was Hopkins not getting slated for saying he wanted to fight Paul Williams?
