    You say that as if the extra 10 Lbs would've made Pavlik less robotic or match up better with Hopkins, he wouldn't have been competitive at any weight because Hopkins is a master at taking away his opponents best weapon (especially when one dimensional), which was Pavliks right hand and would be GGG's left hook in this case. Same with Trinidad. Hopkins is physically bigger than GGG too as well, probably even more so than he was against Pavlik. Fact of the matter is, the only top level fighter that GGG fought, he arguably lost 2x to and the other one (Jacobs), was controversial as well. Most thought Derevyanchenko also beat him. Where's the power vs top opposition? He's not in B-Hops league. Just stating facts

      I agree, you are done if you’re reduced to latching onto that.

      B- level fighter with rudimentary skills and A-ish level athleticism. “Outstanding” doe...

      Overstated or ydksab, one or the other.

        you were done in my very first reply to your idiot question...

          The 10lbs would not have made any difference and I won a lot of money on that fight and said it would be a shut out for Hopkins as a Pavlik is as predictable as any champion I’ve ever seen, GGG has ACTUAL boxing skill unlike jab, jab right hand Pavlik.

          As for power GGG still hits like a mile the difference is top fighters only found their bottle once he hit 36 and started slipping, I called this back in the Monroe fight, the snap had gone from his punches, but obviously you think that all he’s got is a punch if you are comparing him to Pavlik, a fighter prime for prime Golovkin would ruin.

          Hopkins career is a master of smoke and mirrors, fact remains at 160 he only fought one top tier, athletic true 160 fighter in Taylor and went 0-2.

            If you are going by YOUR math and so called “logic” nearly every fighter in history, Floyd included has a much worse resume..
            all elite champs have more than one or two top contender defences, let alone floyd.

            no upside down world answers please, save them for your own dimensional universe.
