Hopefully he does so he can retire for good
Pavlik: "What Happens When Hopkins Gets Hit Flush?"
Collapse
-
Pavlik is no Zaghe. He's got nowhere near his speed defense and variety of punches. Pavlik's got a great jab and a great right hand, and a good inside game, but stylewise he won't be able to beat Bhop cause he'll have to chase him and take risks, and when he does that he'll pay. He doesn't have Zaghe's chin either.
but ppl forget hopkins is the bigger man here, and its ridiculous to think pavlik will be able to hop into the ring, and "walk through" hopkins, like no1 has been able to do as of yet.......
i actually give pavlik props for taking this fight, he's got more to lose, and though he's heavily favored, rightfully so, this fight will be harder than every1 thinks. pavlik could very well lose this one.......
if i wasn't so concerned about hopkins "gassing" out, like he did against calzaghe, i'd easily put big money on b-hop for the upset.....but hopkins has to have the mindset that he's going to take the title from pavlik. he can't expect the judges to notice that the few punches that do connect on him have little effect. judges, and most fans will favor the guy who throws more, so hopkins will have to DO more to win these fights he's been losing......once it starts getting to the point where he's losing fights b/c his body wont enable him to do "enough" to win, its time to retire. we shall see next week...Comment

Hopkins may be hella old, but at least he's willing to pass the torch or extinguish young flames. I predict Hopkins will look like burnt chicken after this fight's done. If only DLH can follow in the footsteps of Hopkins and Mosley... so all of them can get KTFO along with their company. LOLComment
