Hate to do it...but totally disagree.

No one has Hopkins work rate or craft & Pavlik is strong...but to raw for someone like Bernard.

The win would be awesome because Hops drops down & beats the man that beat the man...think about it.
i can agree with you on the fact that hopkins moving back down and beating pavlik would be good. but beating him is the trouble. hopkins has power but doesn't have the power to ko pavlik so it won't end early. only thing that could get bhop the win is his footwork and counter punching. but everyone knows that bhop only counters with one punch whenever he gets the option nowadays. that ain't enough to keep pavlik off. so the fight if it was too happen be like this. starts off with hopkins on his feet, alot of moving around left and right feinting the jab, pavlik moving forward and throwing trying to catch hopkins, hopkins throwing his single shot counters. the judges score it to pavlik on the fact he was more active
