    Ward is a great fighter, but he needs to fight more often. I think we can all agree that his legacy will be slightly tarnished unless he fights more.

    Hopkins has a much much better case for winning the the three fights he didn't get the nod in than Pascal and Wright did against him. You're right robbery talk gets overblown, but to my eyes, he's never gotten the benefit of the doubt in a fight close enough that both guys would need it.

    Chad Dawson gave Hopkins his Undisputed L :deal

    Chad like Calzaghe had volume on long arms...except Dawson was faster

    Calzaghe/Taylor twice gave Hopkins 3 close losses
