I see Hopkins doing a lot of this against Pavlik the Puncher

People are delusiona... IN the Cotto fight you saw a guy who had been hurt before, a guy who was easy enough to hit. Hopkins is an entirely different species of fighter. He can make a fighter dirty, he can reduce your punch output tenfold. He can gain your respect with that right cross you don't see coming. How many people thought Calzaghe would walk over HOpkins? How many thought Taylor would or Tarver or Winky to a degree? Hopkins continues to prove critics wrong.

This isn't about Pavlik not being good, he is a good fighter, its about Hopkins being a far superior boxer, and what makes this fight even is that he is 44. Bring in the Hopkins that fought Glen Johnson and Pavlik doesn't last 6 rounds.

I have all the respect in the world for Hopkins,theres no dought there,but Pavlik has just got far too much punch power in either hand to get any trouble from Hopkins

Hi, I'm new.

I honestly don't see this going the distance. Hopkins was gassed and ready to quit during calzaghe fight, until he got the break from the barley low blow and took 5 minutes.

Pavlik hits harder than calzaghe, and takes a bigger punch. I see hopkins rocking him with 1-2 hard rigths early but after than Pavlik walks through everything and sends Hopkins into retirement.

Pavlik throws a lot of hard punches, they will connect, Hopkins will cash the check and fold.
