i dont see pavlik beating hopkins

[garryd]

he will look better than calzaghe he throws harder shots that joe and real punches not slaps. He will get a ud vs hopkins

For the record i realy like Pavlic ,hes great to watch and i hope he KOs Hopkins,but i just dont see it !

[DIB42]

A few things first - I want pavlik to win, i expect pavlik to win

However, seeing how Taylor Floored Pavlik in the first fight, I can see a sneaky hopkins KO happening. I can see Pavlik getting countered and floored/rocked/hurt by an old but still strong B-hop. And I think with the controversy (i hate using that particular word) surrounding the Calz win over B-hop, I see Pavlik looking for a KO, which could easily get him in trouble.

My Prediction though, Pavlik by stoppage in the 9th or 10th round

[ACHlLLES]

He probably won't beat Hopkins.

I expect Pav to win...
I dont expect him to stop or knock out Hopkins though

[BadNewz]

Even fight. Which is a shame, because if Hopkins were any younger than 43, he would utterly destroy Pavlik and probably end Pavlik's prime in the process. If you take age out of the equation, Pavlik just ain't on Hop's level.

why wont he have mackie?

He's just not using him.

[AntonTheMeh]

lemme guess, you're a cal fan?

you should wish he does.a pav cal fight would be huge.

[RodBarker]

What if he looks realy bad against Hopkins and struggles to get a disision,like Calzaghe did ???
Will he get as much stick as Calzaghe ??

What if he looked great and KOed Bhop , would they say he is better than JC ??

All these type fights with the old fighters never get the winner his just dues because of the is he shot cloud that hangs over the oldies head , its a good fight just to see how Kelly handles this much smarts in an opponent and at 43 how does Bhop handle this much sustained power , the weight is a real spanner in the works as far as Kelly goes , he is a middle and people forget that as they throw him into every box off scenario all with bigger fighters , I think Pavlik will rise to it and dominate Bhop , Im looking forward to the fight as its very intriguing match
