Pavlik vs. Hopkins: Not What The Fans Want To See

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Thousands of boxing fans participated with the latest poll on BoxingScene.com. The poll took a survey, asking the boxing public who they would like to see Kelly Pavlik fight next. Among the choices were Bernard Hopkins, Roy Jones Jr., Arthur Abraham, Paul Williams and Winky Wright. [details]

Pavlik is not the person to blame for the selection of Hopkins. Calzaghe turned him down. Jones accepted Calzaghe. HBO would not put out enough money to make a Williams fight happen. Abraham defends against Raul Marquez on October 4 and Golden Boy pushed Hopkins ahead of Winky Wright during their negotiations with Pavlik's promoter, Top Rank. In the end, Hopkins was the only road for Pavlik to take.

that about sums it up

Steve Bunce said the other day that: "No one wanted to se Hatton fight Witter." Whats the guy on? Another infamous ****** quote by Bouncey.

r u serious? nard can win... but 1st round ko... i think not man...

[Clegg]

I am looking forward to this fight more than I'm looking forward to Calzaghe-Jones.

I think that Hopkins is a tougher fight than ring-rusty Wright, welterweight Williams or anyone else available to Pavlik.
