Hopkins either loses a really close fight or he wins a lopsided decision. But we gotta see that Pavlik was just walking straight unto him with little head movement. Id say Dawson, Calzaghe and may just maybe Jones has a chance.
calzaghe and dawson.........maybe wright if hopkins fights honorably and doest headbutt the **** out of him and wright comes in shape instead of just not losing weight...
great performance by nard, but lets not get carried away, he was fightig slow ass pavlik....i said for a year bernard would school him(though i was concerned just before the fight because nard seemed to not be his usual confident self in the lead up to the fight)
I'm probably gonna get flamed for this, but I think Taylor could still beat him, especially the Taylor we saw in Taylor/Pavlik II.
Styles make fights, and BHOP had to respect Taylor's combination of speed/power more than he did Pavlik's. Hopkins does well against come-forward punchers like Pavlik; that doesn't mean he could beat everyone from 160-175. Anyone who believes otherwise is gullible and guilty of jumping on an old bandwagon who has already shown he is limited against faster fighters with better movement than Pavlik's.
