    When I said NOW I was speaking of the Bernard of the last 6 months or so... this version of HOpkins... unless you think he has gone down hill since he lost to Joe... I'm not sure where you saw that though...

    Not tealy a fair question. WHILE I RANK PACQUAIO HIGHER THAN HOPKINS P4P, Hopkins has done very well for himself at 175. He beat Tarver who beat Jones and lost a very close fight to Calzhgie. A fight that some would argue that he won. If you include his fights at 170 he has wins over Wright and pavlik. Pacquaio on the other hand is 0-0-0 at 140. Yes I would pick him over anyone else at 140 right now, and there is some very good talent at that weight. However because he has never fought at the weight my vote goes to Hopkins by default.

    PAC. Hopkins is not a huge win. His age affects him, even if fighters like Pavlik cannot expose it.
