I don't think being a champion should serve as some sort of advantage. Being a champion is simply a reflection of your excellence in the ring. You don't need crutches like that if you're a champ. It's bytchmade for anyone to say Danny or any other champ has to be beaten beyond any doubt once they have a belt. And jabs can win fights.If a round is very close I always give it to the champion.
Unless Hopkins is fighting as the challenger
