Pavlik vs Hopkins seriously being talked about for Oct 18th

In the paid member section of MaxBoxing.com, Steve Kim just posted that there is serious talks going on for a PPV fight between Pavlik & Hopkins on October 18th.

I don't want to see this fight, let alone on PPV!

That will be 4 PPV fights in just over a months time!

Casamayor vs Marquez - Sept 13th

Calzaghe vs Jones - Sept 20th

Mosley vs Mayorga - October 11th

and now

Pavlik vs Old Bopkins on October 18th

This is ridiculous, what the hell is HBO thinking!!!!

Yeah I posted it in the Pavlik/Williams thread.

This is all becoming a circus. What is this, the 6th opponent mentioned? This is all becoming a joke and Bob should work harder on landing an opponent than running around naming potential ones.

first Rubio, then Calzaghe, then Winky, then Mora, Then Williams, then back to Winky, back to Williams, and now Hopkins.

It's making me dizzy.

Apparently its going to take Bernard getting decisively beaten for him to stop going. If that.

The problem is he could probably make this one ugly too. Just a tough guy to really beat decisively.

I would rather see Pavlik vs. Abraham than any of the other fights listed. Then after Calzaghe/Jones look into Pavlik/Calzaghe.

[WelshDevilRob]

Pavlik vs Hopkins is a pretty good match-up, prefer to see Hopkins rather than Paul Williams. Williams is a Welterweight and jumping straight up is too much.

Abraham is the main fight out there for Pavlik right now at Middleweight.

[CountryBoy]

Is it going to be Catch weight, or Hopkins moving down or Pavlik moving up? Either way Hopkins loses my Tko.

The Jones and Mayorga fights I'm not wasting money on anyways. I am definately buying Casa/Marquez, and would be willing to do the same for a Pav/Hop fight.

Interesting matchup; but like Ouma said it could be ugly and no one is going to look good against Hopkins. Plus if Pav wins then we get to listen to Enzo saying Pavlik only won because Joe softened him up or some sh#t.

I really would rather see Pav fight Hop than Williams or Rubio; and am just looking forward to the day Abraham/Pavlik is signed. And when is Sturms name going to get thrown into the MW mix? Pavlik should go over to Germany and beat the sh#t out of Sturm.

Can't wait to see the build-up to a Pav/Hop fight. Will Hopkins tell everyone: "I'll never let another white boy beat me"

Probably? I don't think theres a chance in hell we wouldn't be seeing Hopkins classic grin turn to scowl when the scorecards are read.

[Markusdarkus]

I think Hopkins showed enough in his last 3 fights he has nothing to be afraid of.

arum want a ppv bout Abrahams is fighting, calzaghe is out, williams was a joke hes beat Taylor it dont leave too many tbh.

Kessler at 168 would be a monster.

Lol missed that one, some rep.

Like I posted in another thread, if Pavlik takes this fight then I will lose all respect for him, its plain fukin garbage

Pavlik should be fighting Abraham to lock down the MW division, and people were pissed at Mayweather for doing this kind of thing

I wouldn't mind seeing it...but no way in hell i would pay for it. I guess he'll be puttin a lid on all the white boy stuff this time. Don't think pavlik would play into all the mind games.

No doubt about a fight with Abraham; but doesn't Arthur have to fight a mandatory 1st? Kelly has to do something in between; and personally I'd rather see him fight Hopkins than a Williams..... Actually Wright would be the one I would want to see before an Arthur showdown, but who really thinks that will happen?

To be fair I dont think anyone wants to fight HOpkins, don't see why Pavlik would either. If it happens, it'll be because it makes the most financial sense for the promoters and Pavlik will have to go along with it.
