Kelly Pavlik vs. Bernard Hopkins on October 18 HBO PPV?

[WESS]

Un****ingreal. I really hope this doesn't go down. Who the **** wants to see Pavlik/Hopkins? Bad decision making, imo. I'd rather have seen Pavlik/Williams, Pavlik/AA, Pavlik/Mora. The list clearly goes on. This is turning into one huge cluster ****. First Mora, then Williams, now Hopkins. Here's to hoping there's one more bump in the road, and this fight doesn't take place. Zero chance I order this **** on PPV.

yeah, I think its all hype. I dont see this really going down... But like I said about Pavlik I dont think he cares who he fights...

Pavlik will win by KO or TKO if this fight happens

Pavlik is stuck in no mans land. Everyone says they want to fight him, but they all seem to want career paydays to do so. Pavlik does not have the standing to carry such an event as he is still a work in progress and working on mainstream popularity.

The Hopkins fight will not happen. The Abraham fight will not happen. Williams might happen and Joe might happen after that but only if it takes place in Wales as Joe can financially carry the fight over there.

I think Williams will eventually deal enough land the fight as the glory seems more important to him than the money. Props to him. A skinny ass welterweight who has bigger balls than the rest of them. That folks will deserve respect.

Feather fisted weakling club!!!??? You need to call it the Feather fisted weakling "WORLD CHAMPIONS" club.

i will take that into consideration at the next board of directors meeting.

Come on Bernard. Go out on one big win. I think he can pull it off, but that's me just being a huge Bernard fan.

Bad move for Pavlik. He has everything to lose if this fight were to go down.

@deanrw: You are right. A lot of people have been giving Williams garbage for wanting to jump up two weights and take on the champ, and have in turn given Pavlik crap for being willing to fight someone a little smaller. I think Williams has guts. Furthermore, he's technically the same size as Pavlik, seeing as how he started at middleweight, and stands 6'2".

Pavlik is a wanted man. A mandatory, Duddy, Abraham, Williams, Calzaghe, Mora, and now Hopkins have all entered negotiations to fight the Ghost. He has plenty to do by simply staying at 160. If he manages to fight most or all of these people, and win the majority (doesn't necessarily have to be unbeaten), he may end up a GOAT.
