    That doesn't follow.

    Try an intro to logic.

    And then mull it over some more.



    You can learn to think.

    Yes you can !

    Ohh you mean the Taylor beats Hopkins, Pavlik beats Taylor = Pavlik beats Hopkins theory

    I can see Kessler doing what Taylor did. I'd love to see this fight.

    No, that's the people who use the Taylor beat Hopkins, so Kessler beats Hopkins theory (while conveniently ignoring the Calzaghe and Pavlik fights) - have a dig at them.

    Personally I think Hopkins has enough movement, and ability to circle, and take away Kessler jab and give him a real head ache.

    It doesn't work like that, even though I think it's foolish to say Kessler dominates Hopkins.

    Hopkins UD.

    In the one sense you have beating Hopkins by a controversial SD as an amazing and Great victory, in another you state it would be an achievement for Hopkins just to go the distance with an unproven fighter.

    I know it doesn't I've just stated that, see my follow up post, that was a simplified reply to those who were using the Taylor beat Hopkins logic.

    Kessler is NOT unproven.

    And the margin of victory was very clear.

    I would not rule out a Hopkins victory here, but I would consider surviving twelve rounds with Kessler an achievement for a 44 year old.

    Kessler IS unproven at elite level, and the margin of victory in the Calzaghe v Hopkins fight was not very clear. Some people even have Hopkins winning.

    If you have Hopkins struggling to finish a fight with Kessler then fair enough that is your opinion.

    That's maybe a bit harsh, but I think Bernard has too many tricks up his sleeve for Kessler.

    I'm surprised so many have voted for Mikkel. :hey

    Hopkins by UD and then stares down the entire press row while eating some danish cookies to rub his victory in Kesslers face even more.

    A no-brainer, Hopkins.
