Pavlik vs Hopkins seriously being talked about for Oct 18th

[JT Rock]

Bernard Hopkins at 55 would probably still be better than Carl Froch is now. If you don't like Bernard's style of fighting, then that's your right, but that doesn't mean Hopkins isn't a worthy opponent for Pavlik.

If you said, "I don't want to see Pavlik fight Hopkins because I don't enjoy Bernard's style" then I wouldn't be disagreeing with that, because that would be a fair opinion. But that's different from "If Pavlik fights Hopkins, I'll lose all respect for him and that fight is garbage."

Again its a crap fight plain and simple... No way Hopkins wins and if he does I'll have his ugly face as an avatar pic for a year.. Whats wrong with pavlik having a fight with a lively opponent

Then I would be interested to hear a list of possible opponents who would have a better shot at beating Pavlik than Bernard Hopkins.

I agree with Fenster 10000000000000% this is a low risk fight since if it goes the distance Hopkins will have landed 36 punches total while boring the whole friggin arena... But its Bernard I cant just fade away and let the spot light go Hopkins so we will be treated with this garbage... I would like to see Pavlik in the ring with a fighter that has a pulse for chrisesakes!!
