Pavlik vs Hopkins seriously being talked about for Oct 18th

[Wayne]

This fight aint a lot.

Okay, i know Hopkins is a marquee name still but am i wrong in saying that Pavlik must realise that he's a Marquee name now?

I read some where that Pavlik aint exactly interested in the fight. If so then fight someone else. Who needs Hopkins now anyway?

His ass better get interested in fighting that old man or he's going to end up losing. If Pavlik comes in focused and in shape, He will have a late Ko over Hopkins, I know everyone saying that you can't knock out Hopkins..... Everyone can get knocked out like Mercer,Tyson,David Tua in the Amatuers and Holyfield. Also didn't a lot of Pavlik's last fighters never been knocked down before like Taylor, Zuetuche and some others. Don't be surprised if Hopkins takes a nap Oct 18th.

Tyson never got knocked out when he was in shape and somewhere near his prime. Douglas, Holyfield and Lewis all happened when Tyson got lazy or just too old to be in there. Hopkins isn't like that. Sure he's old, but he still has a young man's hunger. He's cagey enough to blunt anyone's defense and that allows us to forget Hopkins has a phenomenal chin. Remember how he pretty much walked through Felix Trinidad? Pavlik won't KO him. Hell, he won't even have a landslide victory, but he will win.
