Pavlik vs Hopkins seriously being talked about for Oct 18th

[OumaFan]

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.

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.

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

I agree with the first part i'd much rather see Abraham-Pavlik but I think Calzaghe will go for an easy fight after his beating off Roy!

[RP33]

As much as i think this is a pretty bad decision for Pavlik, as there are other opponents he could be fighting.. it is almost a PERFECT situaton..

I don't see Bhop beating Pavlik, i see Pavlik KO'ing Bhop, or winning a very large UD..

But the reason why this is perfect, is that Pavlik will destroy Hopkins, and if Calzaghe beats RJJ then there will be so much talk about Pavlik/Calzaghe that it will almost be forced to be made.. Which is all i can hope for..

Roy should be a easy fight. If he wanted a hard fight he should fight Tarver. Jones has dropped 3 of his last 6. Or dont you think Joe is any good?

Yep Joe is a good SMW but Roy was extremely weight drained for all 3 of the defeats and has become a lot more aclimatised to the division again now and although he is nowhere near the man he was I think he will be too much for Joe. Roy IMO would beat Tarver now with ease.

[awdleyfuturehalloffamer]

The only way i see pavlik losing is if he can't land his punches. If his punches start to land it's lights out for hopkins. Even calzaghe seemed to have difficulty landing punches. So that says a lot.

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.
