Adamek = two weight champion. also the main man @Cruiserweight Dawson is a great fighter with a win over Adamek but he's not even no 1 in his own weight division....yet!
Hopkins at no.1? lol. Even Hopkins himself said Pac is very clearly no.1. And he's not the most modest of people.
Cunningham could and should have won that fight but i only deal with facts, not what if's, And Adamek has the W. The rematch has to happen though, it was a great fight and listening to Cunningham on OTG, he sounds pretty convinced he can iron out the defensive lapses that saw Adamek floor him last time and nick the decision. BHop vs Dawson could happen now with the Adamek/Hopkins fight getting stopped in it's tracks. If Dawson beat's Hopkins he would be top ten without question, Maybe even pushing top five.
Without an Adamek fight i don't see where else Hopkins can go, Maybe Kessler but that won't do much for his legacy as Kessler is a 168 fighter. Dawson or retirement are his only real options.
Watch 2.20 and on. Who does Hopkins himself proclaim the king of p4p? [YT]VcSKmGuZceI[/YT] Hopkins is p4p #1, thats why he even called out Pac who's about 50lbs lighter. [YT]hxJw3ykRHeI[/YT]
i just learned that pavlik was 111 degrees in the hopkins fight and pav gave up 16 pounds on fight night....but still pavlik is still the favorite, maybe 3-1 is fair. the reason of which is hopkins looks nearly done in the last four rounds of calzaghe fight...
i like this one but move rafael down to a phew places swap pavlik with cotto and swap hatton down to 9 and vic up one and calderon up 2
