    Hopkins, EASILY....its one of the reasons why Im picking him over Calzaghe (not the only reason, but a reason nonetheless)...

    Lennox. He flat out decided what type of fight it was going to be.

    Wlad is getting there as well.

    Currently, Calzaghe is pretty impressive. And PBF.

    Hopkins pops up in my head right away... which sucks because I hate his slow paced, dirty, lead with your head, clinching style of fighting. It's hard for me to watch Hopkins fight... it's so boring.

    prime jones was great at it probably because his opponents were terrified of him. he even clowned ruiz for 12 rounds.

    joe c forces an uptempo fight. he wore down the younger kessler who's no slouch himself.

    Pac also, whoever he faces, there's only one way to fight, forward. And very few succeeded in taming him. Almost all of them got KO'd.

    Floyd Mayweather

    Usually Ricky Hatton dictates the pace of his fights to perfection, but Floyd just goaded him into going faster and faster, fighting on the inside etc, waited for him to tire and picked his moment.

    I bet most people trying to find a way of beating Ricky Hatton wouldn't say: Stand and fight with him, give him some of his own medicine, rough him up etc.

    I know Collazo had a little bit of success against Hatton, but as a southpaw that was to be expected.
