If Popkins really fights Pavlik, he'll end up like Ali!

[Lord13]

Sad but true...
Popkins has absolutely nothing to offer to Pavlik, his footwork is meaningless and he can't hurt Pavlik because a baby comes out of a womb faster than a Popkins punch.

Dear God, let's hope Popkins doesn't need his family to bathe, eat and move after this fight...

One more thing, please pray for Popkins prior to falling asleep, that can't do any harm.

Funny how Pavlik will knock him out, but Hopkins was able to knockdown Calzaghe

Hopkins isn't slow and it isn't said that Pavlik will have Power at whatever weight they are fighting 170? 175?

That KD meant almost nothing, a pure balance knockdown with no power. It hurt Hopkins more than Joe b/c Hop went looking for that punch for eleven more rounds never to find it.

But no way Pavlik really knocks Nard out either. Hopkins may quit due to exhaustion, that's the only way it can end in a TKO.

KD means something when you are P4P second and 43 year old man does it

[Silencers]

Hopkins hasn't taken that much punishment so I think he'll be OK but I would like to see him retire after the Pavlik fight, win or lose.
