Bernard is giving Kelly WAY more respect than he gave Joe

[sparked_85]

Calzaghe slapped a guy who didn't want to fight.

That is all.

[Flawless.]

Pavlik can KO Hopkins, Calzaghe can never KO Hopkins

[abadger]

Maybe its because Hopkins actually knows he has a chance to win this one and doesn't want to run the achievment down ahead of time.

Did you check the presser video out, BHop really changed his tune. Maybe it's because Kelly is actually respectable unlike slappy.

Or maybe it cus he remembers what happened last time he was shoutin' his mouth off, Calzaghe 1 - Bernard 0.

Respectable!?!!?! Ha, what do you know about it, dissing an 11 year running world champion considered by many as P4P#2. Look, Kelly Pavlik is a great boxer but even Pavlik would tell you if you asked him, he doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Calzaghe....not yet! Get real you Pavlik hugging freak!!!

Pavlik can KO Hopkins, Calzaghe can never KO Hopkins

and.....

Not sure if you realise but there are other aspects to boxing than knockout power. For instance I dont think Pavlik could change tactics half way through a tight fight he is losing and have the heart to come out on the other side as a winner. He's not been tested like that yet, so we will have to wait and see.

Atleast he never ducked anybody like Joe the phag ducked Kelly and everyone else in his career. Roy should smash slappy mcslappersons ****ing teeth in.

It's because he knew Calzaghe could never KO him, however with Pavlik, he could be made to look pretty old...

I believe the two Taylor fights showed he can do that. The comeback KO in the first fight and winning the last two rounds in the rematch.

The Hopkins fights will be different because Pavlik is facing a boxer who is much more experienced, although worn down physically.
I'm not sure if Pavlik can deal with the difference in experience but I'd favour him to, by outworking the older man to a decision win.

I'm quite sure that the fight with Calzaghe will happen as long as they both win their next fights.

I have trouble imagining B-hop Teeing off on Pavlik harder than Taylor did in the first fight.. Which makes a stoppage of Pavlik hard to anticipate. Either way it's going to be entertaining.

[Scary]

It will be a good fight. But the phase will be much slower, and that'll suit Hopkins a lot more. I don't know which way this goes, but I hope for Pavlik, because then the Calzaghe vs. Pavlik would be a step closer. It'll be exciting. But as Calzaghe writes, it all depends on how he performs against Roy Jones Jr.

[MANGLER]

Disputed as it was, he lost to Joe C after he talked mad smack and now he don't wanna look foolish again.
