Hopkins V Pavlik

[Ryn0]

The apparent upcoming fight between Hopkins and Pavlik is proberbly going to be boring, but who do you thing will win?

Personally I think it'll be a Pavlik SD/UD over Hopkins with Pavlik looking rubbish in the process.

If it's at 175 i'd pick Hopkins but at 168 Hopkins will have to move down lower than he's been in a long time. That may effect his stamina and put too much strain on his old body. (i'm not white)

That's what i'm saying having to shed the extra weight may decrease his workrate even more.

Pavlik is a very good fighter, but you could make a case for Hopkins being a bit too smart and would figure him out. Pavlik has a style that technical boxers like Hopkins could figure out because he is only one way and is not multi dimensional. The question is could Hopkins exploit that at 43?. I'm not sure about this one yet. I'll have to think about it.

Hopkins can win this fight, he has to keep distance and jump in with his right hand then hold, on something kelly will have to get used to in a BHop fight. I would really like to see this one happen.

yeah there's no reason 2 move down in weight, if this fight goes thru. & Hopkins wins he should retire right away, he has nothin 2 prove...personally i only seen him lose 2 Roy Jones 7-5 rounds. i have yet 2 see his debut fight witch he lost in a 4 round descision...i have 2 see it for my self 2 come 2 my own conclusion.

I thought Calzaghe beat him by 3 rounds but it was close, Hopkins stamina let him down but he's 43. He didn't do anything past round 3.
