Kelly Pavlik finalizes deal to fight Bernard Hopkins in October

[ssss]

Bernard Hopkins will make Kelly Pavlik look horrible and limited but i see him stopping Bernard Hopkins late he has the power to do so unlike Joe Calzaghe..........

But an interesting fact is that i believe Bernard Hopkins started his career at Cruiserweight which means he is naturally bigger than Kelly Pavlik........

So the question is will Kelly Pavlik's power be as much of presence at a higher weight class ?

Thats a ridiculous assumption to say Bernard who started his career at LHW is bigger than Pavlik because he was overweight for that fight. He was a natural middleweight for a long long time, we will see how long Pavlik will be able to stay at 160, I guarantee it won't be until he's 40.

Also people are ridiculous Hopkins makes everybody look horrible, even Winky Wright and Joe Calzaghe, but are more accurate and faster than Pavlik, so what makes you guys think Pavlik will land anything half decent against the slickest boxer in boxing?

I think you need to learn more about Bernard Hopkins he had quite a few fights at Light Heavyweight in his early career where he was in great shape and not overweight at all...............

Even as a Cruiserweight he looked in good shape and remember his power still carried up to Light Heavyweight where as Kelly Pavlik didn't look as strong at 168 which leads me to believe Bernard Hopkins is more of natural Light Heavyweight than Kelly Pavlik is.

Bernard NEVER fought at CRUISERWEIGHT, check your facts... Bernard Hopkins

Hopkins fought ONCE at 175 at the begining of his career, and he was out of shape, thats why Bouie Fisher made him go down to middleweight because Hopkins thought he was a cruiserweight or LHW and Bouie basically said he was stupid. Siince that first fight he hadn't fought at LHW until he faced Tarver at 41 years of age. Kelly is 26 of course he is still fighting naturally at middleweight. Wait until he is 30, 35,40 I could see him being a cruiserweight by then if he can stay in the sport, but he is going to be at least a SMW by the time he is 30 IMO.

Im just going by my memory commentators stated in a very early fight of Bernard Hopkins that he fought at Cruiserweight and also fought at Light Heavyweight few times im also postitive i see Bernard Hopkins at Light Heavyweight more than once...............

Either my memory is wrong the commentators are wrong or boxrec is wrong which it has been plenty of times in the past.

Your wrong lol, its common knowledge that bernard fought at LHW in his first bout then lost it, and moved down to SMW/MW, and then stayed at MW, and won for many yeras.
