Hopkins feels Pavlik fight may be step too far?

Seems like he's been around Calzaghe to much. "At the end of the day..."

haha yeah I noticed that too. Jim Lampley seems to be using it a lot more now aswell.

Hopkins just wants to go out on good graces. He got some really bad publicity over the stunts he pulled before the Calzaghe fight.

I also think he respects Pavlik's willingness to fight anyone and his hard road to the top. Don't think for a second though that he is not confident. He thinks he is going to kick Pavlik's ass big time.

Hopkins will never have a loosing mindset. It is not in his mental makeup. He just wants to leave his last fight on a good note so he will be remembered for his achievements and not an ill advised way to promote a fight.

he showed a lot of class and respect . . . i dont think he showed fear.

Hopkins picked Miranda to beat Pavlik, but so did many others...
Including myself, got after Pavlik beat up Taylor and Miranda.

I think Bhop knows that he talked **** about whitey now he's not only going to lose to one white boy but to two white boys in a row. LOL **** BHOP
