Im a B-Hop fan i choose him to win but im also a Pavlik fan, and all the stick he is getting already is ridiculous.
When Calzaghe 'beat' Hopkins people said give him credit for moving up in weight so shouldnt the same rules apply. Pavlik was brave to move up and fight Hopkins in a weight class more suited to Hopkins.
Also the Calibur of Hopkins speaks for itself, Hopkins is a great fighter and if he fought like that against anyone he would have been a problem so dont act like its only Pavlik that would have been affected by such a performance.
Pavlik will bounce back, return to the middleweight division and resume his domination and hopefully he can move to 168 at a more natural pace rather than jumping up to fight catch weight fights and Hopkins, well he can now retire with his place as an legend cemented.
