How fickle are Boxing fans?

It was a little too one sided. But I think Bhop put on his best performance and Pavlik really had no answers. That being said Pavlik is still the best middleweight in the world and has one more guy to beat to be king of the middleweight division. Its mainly the euro haters b/c of the Pavlik/Calzaghe little feud. But there is no way in gods name Calzaghe could of done what bhop did with his simple bounce in bounce out routine. **** him and them.

 

Perhaps the most fickle of all sports fans..

 

I don't think its Calzaghe fans getting on Pavliks back, if anything he's done Calzaghe a favour...now Joes win over Hopkins looks even better thanks to Pavlik.

 

If he and Loew weren't so cocky and dismissive of the Living Legend, I would feel sorry for Pavlik. As it stands, I do not. This was a much needed lesson in humility. You can't go around talking **** about two great fighters(Calzaghe and Hopkins), get your ass handed to you and expect people to feel sorry for you.

 

Maybe a lot of it on her was that the Pavlik fans were a vocal lot and some of the threads started (Pavlik vs Hagler, Pavlik at Cruiserweight etc) were way over the top considering who the guy had actually fought.

 

From savior to goat in 12 Rounds.

Pavlik doesn't deserve that. No, it looks like people found out alot of things about Pavlik and his corner. Atleast they're just calling him 'exposed' and not a 'bum'.

 

My god... I can't believe the front on some people in these forums. The guy defended once against gary lockett and then his next fight was hopkins at a higher weight. there is no comparison. He would not beat Calzaghe and he never will. All this talk of a JC-Bhop rematch based on saturdays performance is totally stupid. It'd go the same as the first fight. Hopkins always does well against middleweights but Calzaghe is all kinds of wrong for him

 

One one hand a lot of fans whinge that a fighter doesnt take on challenges and ducks his opponents, but as soon as one does the brave thing and steps up but gets beaten, the same fans claim that he is exposed!

Those kind of fans deserve to be stuck watching crap PPV cards with mismatches as fights.

 

Ridiculous. Hopkins landed all of the meaningful shots in that fight. He was the better defensive fighter and showed the better ring generalship. Calzaghe simply threw more punches, many of them were arm punches that missed or barely landed.

 

In this instance "Ring Generalship" is just gets used a substitute for throwing punches. Sure judges score for it but when one fighter is the aggressor who throws and lands more punches then he usually gets the nod.

 

Calzaghe's punches weren't even landing for the most part. They were hitting air, arms and shoulders.
