    I have no problem with it as long as he says that's what those fights are, money fights and not legacy enhancing wins.

        Yeah it was a great display of skill, Pavlik was simply out of his depth skill wise. Hopefully he can learn from that fight.

            Maybe he cudda moved up sooner...idk if there was anything at 168 tho...Roy was the man higher than that...

            Bernard couldn't magically make 160 a better weightclass...some would argue he shudda took the Roy fight in the early 00's...

                    I cant believe the sums of money some of these guys turn down, that Jones fight would of made him at least 3m.

                        A bit off topic, but why do you like Hopkins so much?

                            Helped get me into the sport...I like defensive fighters...I admire how he takes away his opponent's best weapons away from them...

                            I used to like Floyd more than him but Floyd doesn't fight certain people I want him to fight, I didn't like how they did Marquez, and he contradicts himself every 5 mins...but I enjoy his boxing...

                                Yeah I had a big problem with the way Marquez was treated, he deserved to be treated with more respect than that. Still haven't seen the May-Marquez fight to this day. In terms of defensive minded fighters I like Toney, his the one who got me back into boxing.

                                    He can still improve it by fighting Chad Dawson.
