It is much better if we see Pascal beat B-Hop to retirement.

How many of you hope Hopkins gets robbed in Canada?

He was 42, then.
That's 4 years ago, folks.
Quatttttttro.
And a highly disputed SD loss to Calzaghe counts for something.
Robbery notwithstanding, I think most people expect him to beat Pascal.

What was Pavlik ranked at LHW? What did Pavlik ever accomplish above MW?
And, you know what, even if you give him that win...
When was it?
Over 2 years ago..
When was the Calzaghe fight? Over 2 1/2 years ago, and he didn't even win.
Blown up Winky, Rico Suave, and zombie Roy speak nothing of him being a world class fighter on the bridge of 2011.

That said, Hopkins is horrible for boxing and the future of the light heavyweight division. Pascal winning this fight is ideal because he'll lose it in the rematch the Lt. Heavyweight Championship to the rightful owner of it Chad Dawson.
Pascal whooped his ass. He's the rightful owner.

If he beats Pascal, will you call him world class then?

You can crap on the Pavlik win all you want, but he was considered #6 p4p at the time. Calzaghe was #3 or 4 and Hopkins was certainly within a point or so of winning that one.

Maybe he was close to beating Calzaghe... But that was near the beginning of 2008.... 2011 is in 3 weeks.
If he wins? Which is actually a pretty good possibility, yeah you can give him world class status if he proves it.
