    That's what everybody reckons.

    And everybody knows it's 100% true.

    Bollocks it is

    Frogememni the little guy who punches about with the same power pound for pound as Ian Napa nearly had Haye crumbling

    If Enzo Macc managed to get his shots off in a remtach

    Haye be on the flooor with the ref counting to 100

    He did get a couple of shots off in the first round. At least one jab and a hook I think. Neither did ****.

    This is because Enzo's power is vastly overrated. He hasn't knocked anybody good out. He hit Braithwaite with the kitchen sink and did not budge him an inch. Guillermo Jones ripped Big Truck apart. That is the difference between genuine power and overrated power based on a high KO ratio against cans.

    But the Bruce Scott KO was truley devesating .........its why I would never give Enzo any grief if I see him in town

    Gomez went 7 rounds with him

    Johnny Nelson 12 rounds

    Enzo knocked him unconcious in 4 rounds

    I have a free £50 bet, I am slightly tempted to put it on Hopkins but I'm just not convinced his work rate is good enough nowadays.

    It's a tough one to call, I can't decide for sure - but I will say Pavlik pts UD, and save my free bet for another day. :D

    hopkins by clear u/d or later rounds stoppage..not ko...i can just see kelly gassing somewhat after trying to take hop. out for the first half of the fight and hokins turning him and launching an accurate, befuddling barrage....

    i cant see a pavlik ko and just think he hasnt enough facets to huis game to do enought for a ud over the wily older fighter...i actually thought hopkins edged the calzaghe fight...and pavlik aint no joe c.......


    nb...i have been very, very wrong in the past....haha

    Man, did I get that one wrong! I gotta admit that BH is a master craftsman. Superlative performance.

    You and me together. Pavlik looked absolutely awful at the weight which was a surprise to me.

    Its absolutely insane on the general forum with all the wrestling fans using words like "shot" and "exposed" :-(

    From the second I heard about this fight I immediately picked Hopkin's to win using that logic (apart from the Calzaghe losing bit). I couldn't understand how all these Pavlik nuthuggers could use Calzaghe's performance as a reason why Pavlik would win easy.

    I predicted Pavlik by UD, but I put all my vcash on full distance: ching ching!

    Great performance by Hopkins, truly awesome. Pavlik looked flat as a pancake the whole fight, just couldn't get anything going.
