The loony 10% of Kellys fans will be brought down to earth after Hopkins its a 50-50 fight and in no way one sided unless Hopkins lands a bomb.
You never answered the question posed: will you give KP credit if he beats Hopkins? What if he knocks out Hopkins?

Again, not that I'm saying either will happen.


Pavlik has my respect. If he beats Hopkins it goes up if he stops him it goes right up.

Again its styles, this version of Hopkins is going to be very hard for a straight foward fighter to beat him. Winky couldnt do it neither could Tarver. Pavlik has 3 basic punches a jab, right cross and uppercut. I think Hopkins will not have to try and solve Pavlik but Pavlik need to solve Hopkins.
Winky has only a jab and defense, Taver was weight drained and just finished filming Rocky6 and is very timid when fighting to began with, Pavlik has a arsenal of weapons. Jab,Right Cross,Left/Right Uppercut,Left Hook and a good variety of Body punches. I see Pavlik stopping Hopkins easier than most think, But this is MY Opinion only.

Hopkins will be strong for a round or two and then start holding head butting and running from Pavlik. Hopkins is Great, But he is not the same guy he was once ago.
