Hopkins vs Pavlik at 160- who wins??

Wright threw over 1,000 punches his fight prior to b-hop. His game play was to throw 80-100 punches per round and simply outwork b-hop. That game plan was entirely shutdown. Wright looked sloppy in that fight and came in looking like he was on a Krispy Kreme diet and it was the first time he fought above 160. Hopkins did do a good job of taking Wright away from his gameplan though, Hopkins did look a little slower than when he fought Tarver. Pavlik is a 6'2 power puncher who has a high output, I think Hopkins can neutralize that a little but I don't think Pavlik would get affected like Wright did. A prime Hopkins definitely beats Pavlik though. Edit: I also think that Hopkins' low output would work against him against Pavlik.

I don't understand why people say this all the time. Has there ever been a fighter that threw over 100 punches per round against Bernard? His style does NOT allow his opponents to throw high volumes of punches, it simply cannot be done. I'd say Hopkins by UD. I don't think Pavlik could KO Hopkins, which would be his best chance of winning. Hopkins is the better boxer, would outscore Kelly in a close fight. I don't believe he has faced a guy that was a volume puncher in his career, and he used to be more active, him throwing 350 punches in a fight vs Pavlik just won't get it done IMO.

At the Press conference Hopkins would state "I aint loosing to another White boy" Kelly would lean over the table and land one of those scorching straight right hands, breaking bernards jaw Bernard would be unable to fight, Roy jones JR would step in, Knock Kelly out in the second = P4P # 1 http://www.braggingrightscorner.com/ROYOUt.jpg :lol1: lMFAO!!

I think Hopkins would win a close UD

His style does NOT allow his opponents to throw high volumes of punches, it simply cannot be done. Counter punchers like hopkins will look very smart against combinations thrown in 1s 2s or 3s, but when he fights Calzaghe his old ass will be moving backwards because he'll be getting out jabbed and then he'll eat 5 or 6 shots to get off one of his right hands. If Pavlik jabbed his way in, he'd KO popkins IMO

Styles make fights and I think even this version of Jones would beat Pavlik especially if Jones could cover up like he did against Trinidad.

Right now I'd pick Pavlik by decision. Hopkins throws about 350 punches a fight now while Pavlik can throw up to 100 per round, prime for prime, Hopkins by decision.

Hopkins close UD

Pavlik will kill hopkins. Hell Taylor beat him twice...And I heard Jones wants some of Pavlik too. Jones would be on his ass quick. He could never handle the POWER of Pavlik

Hopkins easily. His angles would be too much for Pavlik.
