    My ultimate boxing dream is to see a guy like Pavlik land a right hand to the jaw of ol' snaggle-tooth, Bore-nard Slopkins and put him to sleep....just to shut his blabbing mouth the hell up for a few minutes, if anything.

      Well I guess You'll be having a period of insomnia... It never had a chance.

      Well UNLESS HOPKINS fights pass 45 and then your chances get better.

        Even at this stage of Hopkins career you can't count him out. All of Pavlik's opponents have stood in front of him. No one has tried to give him angles & when's the last time Pavlik fought a pure boxer or mover? Let's not get overboard with his win (which was a good win) because Pavliks footwork isn't that good. And with a vet like Hopkins who'd counter punch & punch him at angles he's never had to face it would be a tough fight. Not to mention he's a damn rough fighter on the inside as well.

          ....Hopkins only wins if his hugging,holding, running, and dirty bull**** is allowed. It depends on the ref and if they let him get away with that garbage. If I were Pavlik I wouldn't fight Hopkins. Bernard is interested in being cautios and winning by hook or crook. Pavlik is an exciting fighter and he doesn't need Hopkins or his bull****. **** Hopkins!! Kelly is an exciting fighter who actually gets in the ring to fight.

            Slick: KOing Jermaine.
            Not slick: Losing to Jermaine. Twice.

              No, even if Bernard brought in Nady in there to help him like he did in the Taylor fight, he would'nt last long with Pavlik.

              Why doncha kids ask whom Taylor picks in a Hop-Pav fight? He'd tell you "Man, Nard isnt gonna last a round with Kelly. Too strong."

                You dont know much or haven't been boxing long.. one or the other.

                Do you even know what it would take to beat hopkins?

                Even at 40+ he's a huge threat... Don't Downplay his skills.

                Pavlik would have a VERY tough night. Good Fight I think.

                  I dunno much but I picked Pavlik to beat Taylor while you chose wrong smart guy.

                  Jermaine Taylor beat Bernard Hopkins twice. Some people said that Winky Wright beat Bernard. Everybody says that Bernard is the dirtiest fighter in the sport.

                  If a nervous tentative boxer with no chin like JT rendered Bernard ineffective in the first eight rounds, how much more a Kelly Pavlik who is MORE POWERFUL, HAS A BETTER CHIN and HEART and ALL THE CONFIDENCE in the world?

                    Someone tell the ignorant Celt/Brit to learn how to spell or form a coherent sentence first before he tries to address me in a boxing forum with his useless appeals to crackpot Eurocentrism? Thank you..

                      First off I bet on Pavlik to win... BUT I would have been happy losing...


                      And though i'm happy Jermain won Both of those fights in the books you need to Go watch that first/second fight again, and choose which one jermain actually won for yourself.


                      LIKE I said don't say much if you don't know what your talking about.
