Martinez beat him easily too, and Martinez is a small middleweight. Hopkins was old and made Pavlik look like a joke. Before his retirement everybody on this board were calling him a bum, and right after retirement he is a force. Just like somebody hit a button and everybody's opinion changed in a second.
2 best fighter Pavlik fought pretty much outclassed him. Both were old, and 1 of them was in his 40s. |
He was overrated and then underrated. He had a good run and became champ the right way.
