The other question is why Hopkins? I am really not excited on this fight maybe he's thinking if he beats Hopkins more convincingly thatQuote:

Lol, so you caught your mistake in time, but didn't correct it? Fair enough.
Abraham has a mandatory against Raul Marquez.

He knows he will make good money from HBO on this fight. He sees it as if he can get Pavlik to ride BHop's and Calzaghe's financial coattails, Pavlik is then suddenly a Marquee name if he beats them or loses a close fight. He thinks Bernard is shot enough to not beat Pavlik, and I think he is right.
Arum is not stupid. He has been playing the game for a long time
His ass better get interested in fighting that old man or he's going to end up losing. If Pavlik comes in focused and in shape, He will have a late Ko over Hopkins, I know everyone saying that you can't knock out Hopkins..... Everyone can get knocked out like Mercer,Tyson,David Tua in the Amatuers and Holyfield. Also didn't a lot of Pavlik's last fighters never been knocked down before like Taylor, Zuetuche and some others. Don't be surprised if Hopkins takes a nap Oct 18th.Quote:

Mark my words Hopkins will be KNOCKED OUT.Unless Pavlik shows a heart and let's the ol' timer finish on his toes.This is the fight were Hopkins will be retired and finally he can say "yes he whooped my ass" well maybe not but you get the point.
Tyson never got knocked out when he was in shape and somewhere near his prime. Douglas, Holyfield and Lewis all happened when Tyson got lazy or just too old to be in there. Hopkins isn't like that. Sure he's old, but he still has a young man's hunger. He's cagey enough to blunt anyone's defense and that allows us to forget Hopkins has a phenomenal chin. Remember how he pretty much walked through Felix Trinidad? Pavlik won't KO him. Hell, he won't even have a landslide victory, but he will win.Quote:
