I love watching really slick boxers, guys that make their opponents look foolish due to a large gaps in their knowledge of the sweet science. Ask a lot of guys their favorite fight and they’ll name slugfests like Gatti/Ward. I cherish seeing a great fighter being dazzled and confounded by a superior boxer. I’ll take Toney/Holyfield or Hopkins/Pavlik over Gatti/Ward anyday.
Today I’m going to talk about Hopkins/Pavlik. I apologize to Pavlik fans for bringing back bad memories, but Hopkins put on a boxing clinic. I always respected Hopkins, but this fight made me a fan.
Before I go into what I learned from the great Bernard Hopkins, I’m not going to host a pirated video or link to one (it will surely move anyway). That said I just looked for the fight, and if you do a google search you’ll be able to find the video in under a minute’s time.
