Thats like saying why does everyone want Pavlik to move up in weight. Well Hopkins is always asking for rematches, Why can't Kelly. I was absolutely gutted when Pavlik lost that fight with Hopkins. I would like to see him get his mojo back....lolQuote:

A rematch should be out of the question at any weight, the only thing Hopkins didn't do to Pavlik was stop him. If you're a fan of his, you should want him to stay far away from B-Hop.Quote:

CHF, Nice sig BTW
I don't think Hopkins can make 160 anymore and at his age its unfair on asking him too.Quote:

Pavlik barely won a round against Hopkins, He was dominated.
Does he really deserve a rematch after the performance he put on......
I think that was Roy Jones' argument when he first started stomping for a rematch.Quote:

Even if Hopkins could still make 160, why would he need to take that fight? He dominated the first go-round. Pavlik doesn't deserve a rematch and Hopkins has nothing to gain from giving him one.
The difference is Hopkins was calling out Roy seven years after the first fight and was clearly a much improved fighter with a solid chance to win. Pavlik needs to reestablish himself and show some improvement before a rematch is palatable. And, of course, by that time Hopkins will probably be retired.Quote:

All he's trying to do is hope that Hopkin's old body will be drained making 160 and he can capitalize. I think its a chicken shit move on HIS part.
Bad Idea.Hopkins is the shot caller and I Just can not see anything Pavlik can do to reverse things,not a chance.Pavlik should go after a guy like Marco A. Rubio....David Lopez.Ranked guys but at 160 he would fair well,get his shine & confidence back.
Forget alllllllll about Hopkins.Leave that alone Kelly.
I like Kelly Pavlik. I am a fan.
Seeing as you speak to him, I would like for you to give him some incentive via a word or two, as I'd like to see him do better. You tell him I said, "Hey Kelly. I am 14 years old and have better lateral movement then you. Please work on that."
Thank you.
Why would Pavlik want a rematch? He got embarrassed for 12 rounds. He should want no part of Hopkins again.Quote:

Thank you.
