    Zod's a great poster, and he's entitled to his opinion. But what a fighter says during mid camp, never means anything to me. I've given him two examples, and three if you include Byrd. Byrd says that he lost the weight too soon. No disrespect to Shaun George, but Byrd looked awful in that fight. Also, Tarver looked poor against Hopkins. And Mackie says that he expected him to be flat after his weight loss following the Rocky movie.

    I think that was Bernard's best win.

    One of the best ever. Shame he padded his record and avoided so many tough fights like another fine boxer which shall not be named.

    Well, you can question the basic quality of a lot of his opposition, as well as the rumors of roids, but, in the end, he was one of the best in the past 50 yrs or so.
