i dont see pavlik beating hopkins

[boxasmash]

just rewatched calz hopkins and hopkins is such a clever guy, calz is clever himself but hopkins is a master of distance and he was even beating calz to the punch at the start (albeit before calz adapted to plan b) but still. his timing and speed is much better than pavliks and his footwork is unlike anything he has seen before too.

this + the weight difference and i cant believe the some what rookie pavlik is the favorite (not in a bad way, he is a new champ).

If Pavlik beats Hopkins he still won't recieve any credit and the funny thing is most people think he can't win.{including me}

Don't forget Hopkins had Mackie Shilstone for that fight which makes a big difference at his age. He won't have that this time so expect him to look even more old and shot then he did in the Calzaghe fight.

why wont he have mackie?

[MANGLER]

Pavlik will win, he just won't look impressive doin it.

[egreezy]

if taylor, calzaghe can get decisions. so can pavlik

[fightingfigs]

If Taylor can beat him who was clearly beaten by Pavlik twice. i can see pavlik winning.

I to think that this is a much closer fight than most think it is !
I think theres a lot of Pavlic fans who are underestimating just how much of a spoiler Hopkins is !
Gonna be a close fight but you gotta go with youth !
But its funny because pavlic to is gonna find himself in the same position as Calzaghe was !

[garryd]

I also think it will be an even far more ugly fight than the Calzaghe v Hopkins fight was !

[Pugilistic™]

He has the workrate to edge a decision over Hopkins but Hopkins will make him look real bad throughout the fight.
