Pavlik
Youth
Workrate
Heart

Hopkins
Great counterpunching skills
Defensive wizardry which usually frustrates opponents and kills workrate
Ring intelligence
Size

Who's taking it?

Im going with Pavlik. Hop is starting to slow down and Kelly will put the pressure on and hit him harder and more often than he's been hit before. That said, Hop still has the ability to make Pav look bad while winning a UD.

You forgot this

Pavlik - GODLY POWER AND FINISHING SKILLS

I'm leaning towards Pavlik because of his workrate, stamina and youth but he's going to look very bad.

I would say if Hopkins wins, he will either stop Pavlik early, or will cut him up.

Bernard cannot fight for 3 minutes a round anymore and Pavlik throws too many meaningful punches, so beyond round 3-4, it will be Pavlik dictating and he will win a decision.

I cannot see Hopkins winning a decision over Pavlik, but stopping him is a decent possibility.
