Bhop haven't looked good for years. He have trouble throwing double digits in every round for the last 3 years and he still did pretty good.
But up to and after the Kessler fight, Joe stated that the rest of his career was about establishing his legacy. Ducking Pavlik does Joe no favors legacy wise! As a boxingfan I am dissapointed!
Joe has zealously guarded his Zero for many years. He knows that with his susceptibility to right hands at some point Pavlik would hurt him. He also knows that as soon as Pavlik smells blood, his Zero leaves town. There is no hypocrisy there. Just the same old Joe.
