    I don't have Charles rated in my top ten. That's a terrible inconsistency. I like him the more I watch him, and his record is top class.

    I wouldn't do a large list justice.

    It takes time, patience, and a lot of frsutration. I'm barely happy with mine and have been working at it (sporadically I admit) for over six months.

    He avoided Prime Jones (for years), Prime Calzaghe, Prime Reggie Johnson, Chad Dawson. Mayweather wouldn't be struggling against the likes of Robert Allen

    RB, what a post :lol: :good

    I have had many moments where I've considered jacking it in. But for me, I want to keep watching just in case.

    Was clearly the no1 contender for 2-3years and stylistically a nightmare

    Dawson makes as many mistakes as this B-Hop makes.

    Hop is fighting the man who beat the man though, which at his age is fair IMO. Styles or
    not, a win over Pascal is a big coup IMO :good

    He's signed to fight Pascal instead of Dawson because Pascal is bread and butter to him. I'm not really blaming Hopkins at his age, but it was a blatant duck. The win will add to his legacy but I won't rate it too highly

    Basically the way I see it.

    I also don't think Napoles proved himself against the kind of variety or depth of competition at WW to be favored over someone that brings all that Gavilan does to the table.

    Agreed too.

    I'd question how well Napoles' style would work against someone quicker than himself, particularly someone both rangy and versatile/unpredictable as Gavilan is.
