****!!! If Hopkins had won wed be seeing Hopkins vs. Pavlik.

[Burner]

Who is still higher on the P4P list then Pavlik is.

Wouldve been interesting to see how Pavlik would look against Hopkins style.

i love hopkins but man needs to hang it up. I really wouldn't want to see hopkins vs kelly

[Silencers]

It would have been an interesting fight but Hopkins didn't like the pressure Calzaghe was giving him, Pavlik could've won.

[Left Hook Tua]

that'd be assuming hopkins threw more that 5-10 punches a round.

kind of a lot to ask from bernard "the tranquilizer" hopkins.

but i guess we're all dreamers at heart......

I actually think Hopkins could pull this one out. Taylor and Joe were a lot faster then Kelly and Hopkins mugging style would be a ***** for him I think. Still Hopkins would be 44 when the fight would happen or later 43. As good as Hopkins is, Kelly might be a little to much for him.

Still prime for prime, Hopkins takes this easy.

Though I don't have any desire to see this fight. Hopkins should hang them up sadly.

I pick Kelly by UD. Kelly's not gettin knocked out, and he's certainly not gettin outworked by The Human Qualude. Easy victory. How you guys think hopkins is beating Kelly at this stage in his career is beyond me, and I really wish you would explain yourselves.

I wouldn't even put it past Kelly to KO him, although I think the UD is about 3 times as likely.

Couple reasons:

-If Lockett was able to land good right hands, then Hopkins would land a ****load of them.

-We don't know how Pavlik would react/adapt to Hopkins' spoiling style.

-Kelly isn't as fast as Joe or Taylor which gave Bernard some problems.

-Kelly's defense is kinda crappy. His chin has question marks around it. Who knows how it would react to Bernard's accuracy.

Hopkins doesn't throw a ****load of anything nowadays.
