    OK, Hopkins has his strategy - fight the guys when weight is an issue - all of his recent opponents have been weight challenged - De La Hoya, Tarver, Calzaghe, Wright, Pavlik - all either had to come up or down in weight to face Bhop..The last time he fought a guy in his normal weight was the 2 Ls to Tyalor..

    Nice work...

    BHOP is the master, no doubt - I;m saying that he picks his targets well - Tarver had just come down in weight from the Rocky movie - just a coincidence that BHop fought him right after that? Calzaghe was a 168 pounder who moved up to Lt. heavy..Who is Bhop calling out next? Dawson? Nope, 40 year old Roy or Calzaghe again...

    I'm not a Peter fan - I got Vitali a month ago at -135 cause IU knew he would win. Peter is not too skilled...Pavlik also is a 1-2 fighter, good one though.
