Hopkins vs. Pavlik: Satisfaction without action

[Deanrw]

Let`s hope and pray Pavlik wins convincingly, batters Hopkins into retirement and sets up a mouthwatering mega fight with Joe Calzaghe, after Joe narrowly outpoints RJ in a borefest. Thus making JC an underdog and Pavlik favourite! Joe to k.o Pavlik sealing his greatness!

If Joe wants to KO Pavlik, he had better be carrying a bat with him. His hands certainly will not be scoring one.

Joe's KO days are long over. He will have to hustle to a decision, which he can do if his legs are still in good shape at that time.

Yeah I think this is true.

If he cant put Manfredo on his back then he isnt putting anyone on his back especially at the level he is now fighting at . Every single fight needs to be won on boxing skill , workrate and speed and I think theres not a fighter in the world who can beat Joe when he is boxing well .

He said teh reason he doesnt K.O anyone now is that he doesnt plant his feet, he goes for speed and doesnt want to hurt his hands so with that in mind I think we can pretty mucgh guarentee that every Joe fight is going 12 cuz he is getting knocked out and he isnt gonna knock out the other guy

Hopefully after losing again Hopkins will finally retire

P.S on reading the article its pretty unfair the bias that espn holds against bernard hopkins..

All the reasons to watch the fight and all the good things they say may come out of this fight are all on the basis that pavlik knocks out or beats bernard hopkins.. hes been overlooked in the article and i personally favour bernard for the fight.

What can B-Hop do. I was a B-Hop fan but because of his stupidity and mouth I can no longer root for him. I just got sick of him. This is a very stupid fight for B-Hop he will be hurt and you will see B-Hop go down or be stopped. You can not mess around with Kelly.Bernard can not roll with punches or tuck his head between his shoulders and catch punches Kelly has too much power,speed,and he is much bigger than Hopkins.Sure B-Hop is at a higher weight class,but you will see Pavlik will be much wider taller and basically making Hopkins look like a decrepted old man. Sad ending for Bernard Hopkins.
