    Love him or hate him, love or hate his style you can't deny what a legend of the sport this man has been. To be still winning world titles when he was nearly 50 is just remarkable.

    He always fought the best and usually beat the best, his farewell fight is a tough one against Joe Smith in December.

    His two bet wins were against career WWs. BHop on form at peak was a very good fighter. Technically a beautiful puncher. Clever, resourceful, tough, economical and ring savvy. Towards the end of his career he was a horrible fighter to watch. Had nothing on offence to look at. His other best win was against Kelly Pavlik. That is probably his best win when you consider the evidence.

    Oh yes very ring savvy. Thought going to Pascal's home country and taking the belts was a great achievement at 46.

    But I was most impressed in his last loss. I was there that night when he never went down in what was a savage beating from Kovalev.

    Glad he's finally getting out with his marbles and lots of coin.

    His win over Tarver is also a really good win he's had a hell of a career but has been terrible to watch in his later years.
