    in fact, Bika was doing better and better as the fight progressed

    couldn't adapt to B-Hop neither

    Floyd adapted to all his opponents, except Castillo I, even adapted to Mosley after being hurt
    I would say he definitely adapted against Hopkins. He was rushing in and getting countered a lot early, then he started diping in and out more getiin off first with flurries avoiding Bhops right hand better.

      Hopkins stamina failed him more than anything else

        You must be kidding. Hopkins had Calzaghe confused and frustrated. Calzaghe answers to his problems are swarming and just keep throwing. No game plan behind his boxing.

          unlike most people, I think it would have been a competitive fight, but RJJ would have pulled it off
          ..pulled it of by a first round ko

                    Gotta agree at the adapting part...but i dont think hes better than PBF !

                      Lmao imo Prime Roy is better then both put together!!!
