    Froch/Pascal may have been a real fight, but that's because Froch has no defence. He'll get pounded when he fights a real world-class opponent. Joe would slap that loud-mouth silly for 12 rounds. Only a hard-core boxing fan can appreciate the chess match of Hopkins/Calzaghe, or maybe a complete nut but whatever.

    No way. The cleaner more meaningful punches came from Hopkins. This fight was a draw at best. A rematch would see Hopkins (if on the same form as he was against Pavlik) put Calzaghe to sleep.

    This would be sweet payback for the many times Calzaghe has put me to sleep watching his fights. Perhaps he thinks if he flaps his arms hard enough in a windmill impression he will give his opponent a cold rather than knock him out cold?

    What is this smell.... do i smell a noob? Look at u trying to change the subject, can't even asnwer a simple question..

    Look at my first question. Does Junior Middleweight sound like a small division to u?? U say you'r into MW and up, then u should be familiar with the JM division too..

    So who's the top 10 Junior middles of all times?

    Froch's defense is definately questionable but if he hit Calzaghe square it would be 'goodnight Vienna'!

    Hopkins was reluctant to engage in fisticuffs with Calzaghe.

    Does anyone disagree with this statement?

    He's too slow to hit Calzaghe, and Joe has an iron chin anyway. Look at what Kessler hit him with. Kessler hits as hard as anyone from 160 to 175.

    Problem is that division hasn't been around long enough but let me tell, I don't rate Leonard at the top of the list. If jr MW existed earlier you would have had Ray Robinson there. I say Hearns at the top. I don't rate Duran as high as many either. Henry Armstrong would have fought there had the division been around when he was fighting.

    Basically there isn't enough good ones for a top ten in my opinion. Like I said Hearns at the top, Benitez and Jackson up there as well.

    for the money bhop and joe were paid, that was beyond pathetic...to call it a chess match makes u look like a moron. the fight was nearly unwatchable.
    fact of the matter is they both talked a ton of **** and grabbed and clutched for 12 rounds. i dont play chess like that. give me a real fight where fighters try to at least win rather than not get hit. i blame Bhop more than joe. bhops fights are mostly all horrible
