And DNA, hopkins beat that ass
^All respect due. I was wrong about B-hop. And I'm not making any excuses either. Pavlik got his ass kicked. The only thing I'm mad about now is Calslappy coming out to the press to talk shit bout Kelly. He's the last one who needs to be talking. Pavlik is still the man though, he'll stay undefeated at middleweight. I never hated B-hop either if any of you guys were thinking that, his lackluster perforomances lead me to believe he couldn't pull the trigger anymore. What can I say? Lol
Hopkins made Pavlik look like shit
Pavlik lost huh???
Im surprised, I thought he would have beaten the him.
Never was a huge Hopkins fan. Glad i didnt get the fight.
initially i thought pavlik would UD him but damn, he got apparently schooled. i shall wait to see this somewhere online.

It also has something to do with Pavlik moving up, that was a bad choice and it's hard to believe that Leow and Pav are saying they want to stay in that area. Hopkins weighed in at 180 where as Pavlik was at 169, 11 lb difference, the catch weight was 170 I believe right? That's why I hate these fights where there's no limit weight basically after the weigh-in. It ain't like Pavlik was beaten so bad, he took some hard shots, but nothing that would really hurt him. The way Pavlik faught was the exact way I faught on my first loss, mentally and physicaly I couldn't get things going, didn't have anything to do with the opponent, just that I was out of it. But Hopkins turned back the clock that night to, he hasn't moved and thrown that way since the Trinidad fight. So basically Pavlik didn't have his night, Hopkins had his night.
im happy hopkins won, i felt pissed when calzaghe beat him SD.
but a 11lb difference is crazy, pavlik clearly was out of his comfort zone. I havent seen the fight though, cant find it anywhere online
had no doubt in my mind about this fight.b-hop found a flaw and exploited it
nuff respect to kelly tho he is a great champion
and if jones beats Calzaghe...they have to fight again...no more ducking or that 60-40 bullshit roy.
One flaw that Pavlik has is he hasn't had enough experience against fighters with lateral movement.
How was he clearly out of his zone when you didn't watch the fight?Quote:

roy jones is going to beat joe and it is going to set up the mega fight between B-hop and RJJ and where all going to say awesome but this would have been better years ago
i read about it everywhere, and its his first fight at light heavy. (i think)Quote:

Atleast he's not making excuses like RJJ will be doing when he loses to Calzaghe.
RJJ will beat Calzaghe. Nearly the only way to be Jones is to have good power, which Calzaghe isn't very good at. And Calzaghe's combinations are as predictable as Pavliks one-twos, two hooks to the body then goes for the head.
I don't pay attention to Tye that much but didn't he get KO'd recently?
Ok, I don't know whether you have seen this before, but I found it very entertaining. It's a short story of your worst nightmare... THA EXECUTIONARR

pavlik vs hopkins the whole fight has been posted on youtube.
Hopkins can beat Jones. If he shows up like he did against Pavlik, not too aggressive but not passive either, somewhere in the middle firing off those combinations and controlling the pace, He'll beat Jones easy. The only way I see Jones having a chance against Bernard is if he whoops Calzaghe's ass and humiliates him, which I doubt. Roy's superhuman-like speed & athleticism for the most part is gone, and he doesn't punch as hard either. He used to knock guys the fuck out, now he can't even knock out a guy who was out the ring for 2 and a half years.(Trinidad). I'm picking Hopkins over anyone and everyone in the super middleweight and light heavyweight divisions.

Prince Naseem Highlight
^^I think he may have tied Iron Mike in the "number of no-name bums I've knocked out" department lol.
at least tyson is a comical guy.
What's up Prince? Yeah man, I'll take Iron Mike with all of his ass-backwards quotes over an arrogant, over-confident prick all day everyday. Peace!
haha you have to admit the guy is entertaining. That's how I look at Roy Jones, I can't stand the guy and think he's overrated, but I'll still watch his fights for entertainment.
What is everyone's picks for this weekend? A lot of people are betting on RJJ on the books, but I don't think he has the (old) speed or strength to get passed Calzaghe.
Calzaghe by KO.
Jones by SD...it's gonna be super-close on the cards IMO.
hmm interesting call.
rjj doesn't have the speed or work rate that made him so famous back then, and calzaghe is calzaghe a work horse.
but rjj isn't stupid, he knows he has to train real hard for this one in order to prove himself. I think calzaghe's luck may run out this time with late decision in rjj's favour.
but in boxing...
WHO KNOWS?
im pullin for the welsh paesano....plus i really never liked Jones
Boxing is fantastic as long as you don't sustain brain damage. As my brain is a heavenly instrument I only fight in self defense.
Jones by Decision or shocking TKO tonight.
And as for upcoming fights:
Malignaggi vs Hatton -I'll pick Malignaggi because he has superior boxing skills and is the underdog, but I won't be suprised if Hatton takes it.
Taylor vs Lacy -Jermain easily. Either by landslide decision or KO/TKO.
Williams vs Phillips - Punisher takes this one.
De La Hoya vs Pacquiao - Oscar will most likely win due to his punching power and size. But I'm cheering for Manny.
