Bernard Hopkins vs. Robert Allen

Because he would try to wrestle with them.He hasn't fought Pascal yet to my recollectioin. I think you are being too hard on Hopkins. I'm kind of in the middle where B-Hop is concerned. I'm not a hater or a hardcore fanatic. But I respect his accomplishments and I think an absolute prime Hopkins gives any Middleweight in history fits win or lose.
I put Pascal there because its obvious he's going to win. Whether he k.o's Poopkins or whether Poopkins tries to spoil and the judges rob him (rightfully) he's losing either way.
The only way Poop wins is by k.o.
And we know that ain't happening.

Sigh....... your past prime man, give it up manComment

Generally, I agree. But he ****s on Hokins for fighting bums, but at the same time had Vitaly as his ATG heavyweight. Then calls Lewis a bum.
Dont make sense.Comment

I don't necessarily agree. I think a dominant UD is better than a puncher's chance, behind on the cards KO. Although, in Vitali's case, he dominates the opponent and KOs them, so I agree in this situation.Comment

So, just to go with a recent example, if Cotto had prodded Judah to a UD instead of turning the heat up when he was in control of the fight, that would've been more impressive than closing the show?
Or, using a more competetive example, if Pryor hadn't closed the show late against Arguello, that would've been more impressive (he was up on two cards IIRC)?
GTFO.
In the case of guys who lack a big punch, I give passes for controlling decisions in some instances. Whitaker gets many from me, for example. Mayweather up to a point. But, general rule of thumb, KO = extra credit.Comment
