Pavlik vs Hopkins seriously being talked about for Oct 18th

Very credible!!

You know i thought Joe would walk in there and just be too much but Hopkins ia a machine. He will stop Kelly working, Pavlik will be running at 30% and thats how Hopkins wins.

If i was Pavlik fan i would be thinking this:

Kelly went life and death with Taylor twice, his power did not look great at 166lbs, Hopkins has been reborn at 175 and Hopkins has the same reach and is only 1" shorter.

Lets see Kelly fight a guy that is a natural SMW/LHW see how he handles his shots bouncing off.

I'm not sure they will just bounce off! Pavlik hits freakishly hard at middle and I personally think he is draining himself to make that weight as he seems to look huge for a middle. If 170 is the weight that the fight will happen at, well I personally think that this is somewhere near his natural fighting weight and his punches would be at their most explosive there. That said Hopkins has never really looked in that much trouble in regards to being knocked out and if anyone could take Kellys best shots it could well be Bernard!
