    Facing Hopkins?

    Taylor, Pavlik, Pascal, and more.

    What did he do that had huge negative effects on his opponents future?

    I am guessing they were mentally weak and had no resolve to bounce back.

    Once that doubt creeps in and your confidence is shot.....game over.

    Taylor and Pavlik had problems outside the ring which led to their eventual decline. Pascal didn't deteriorate after the Hopkins fights, right now he is amidst a mini Renaissance in his career.

    Very impressed with Pascal's return to matters, may have been drugs involved but it is still a great effort.
