Hopkins lacks workrate but what he lacks in workrate he brings in brilliant accuracy and timing with his shots and he also works well on the inside and frustrates his opponents with his sneaky blows on the inside. Hopkins tough defense and lateral movement will cause pavlik problems, Pavlik won't have his jab to set up his shots because Hopkins will take it away just like he did to Wright and Pavlik will find himself eating right hand counters and missing his shots and will get more frustrated with Hopkins work on the inside. Hopkins even at 43 still has what it takes to beat Pavlik and your making the mistake thinking he can't.
