    Abraham would brutalize Pavlik.


    Said it at 160. Even more convinced after seeing how healthy and strong he looks at 168. He would brutalize Pavlik.

      The **** Pavlik gets for losing to Hopkins is sickening, I mean who in this super 6 wouldn't? They all would lose to Hopkins. Saying that Pavlik lost his soul, and Abraham would have KOed him IMO.

        Not to overrate Arthur, but Abraham is the one guy out of the Super Six where I have to wonder what Hopkins' approach would be in dealing with him.


        I can visualize how he'd beat the rest. Arthur, not so much. That's not to say Hopkins wouldn't beat him, I just have trouble picturing how it would look.

          It just seems to be that so many in here want to **** all over Pavlik just for the sake of it. Abraham gets praise though for taking down already wounded prey. The hypocrisy in this place is blinding.

            I really think it would be the easiest fight for him. Angles a little bit of movement, a flurry every now and then to keep him in his shell. Possessing a chin and not wallpaper like Taylors. It would look very easy from the outside IMO.

              Pavlik KOing Taylor was something that was going to happen later on if it didn't happen right then and there. The writing was on the wall when Taylor couldn't even put Cory Spinks away.

                It would be Ward and Dirrell that would test Hopkins reflexes and legs more than anyone. Kessler would also for his all around game. He can box and has good speed. His one detriment is that he can come across as mechanical, which ole Hop could exploit.

                Hopkins would walk through Froch and Abraham and also the wounded Taylor. So many in here cannot see how styles make fights and how the most unheralded guys in the super 6, would have the best chances against an increasingly aging Bernard in my eyes. Even considering that though. There is a very good chance they would still lose to him.

                  Abraham is one fighter that would have me worried when it came to B-Hop winning. Abraham is basically a harder punching conventional version of Winky Wright. And Hopkins had to pull slick tricks out of the bag to deal with Winky. Would he be able to clinch Abraham like that without taking some damage? That one makes me wonder.

                    Agree with the Bully here,B-Hop thrives in slow fights,AA starts slow & B-Hop likes to pick fighters apart that way!!Besides the Hop has been in there with bigger punchers & made there power look like nothing!!

                      I agree. Direll and Ward would be your best bets, but the problem is Hopkins would make them lead for the first time. But they would have the best shot. IMO Kessler has no upper body movement at all, pretty robotic. His skills are good, but everything he does Hopkins does better along with give anglen, use his legs more and has better defense, and upperbody movement. Froch would get sonned from start to finish, so woud Abraham.
