Hopkins: is 43 for Bernard too old? Or is he does he still got it?

I think Pavlik is going to hurt Hopkins.

Alright that seals it, Hopkins will win this fight in a big way.

Ive been pretty good in my recent picks, I'll have you know.

I would be surprised to see Hopkins get through this one, Hopkins usually gets crafty in the championship rounds and against Calzaghe was nowhere to be seen. His legs tire against high output fighter much quicker so he is less effective later on. I can see Pavlik wearing Hopkins down with the chase and begin to put on some hurt, or Hopkins will try and bide time again.

I am steawing and all mixed up on this one.Almost like looking at a hot stove and being so tempted to touch it.....but knowing I'll get burned ??

Hopkins must take risks and capitilize on his sharpshooting.Life long fan but he can not ride his legacy right now.Imo,He has every possibility of frustrating and taking Pavlik very deep down the stretch,Shite,he frustrates me just watching him sometimes .

pavlik isnt way overrated thats just crazy he beat the man who beat the man. how is that overrated man that just sounds like somebody being a hater

OK, let's get technical cuz you may not know fighting, but styles make fights & the man who beat the man means nothing and is invalid! a very uneducated statement

look i never said just because he beat jermain taylor that hes gonna beat hopkins which i think he is by the way what i said is that he beat the champ who beat the champ, now how is that being overrated why because he beat the man to beat at middleweight. your calling him overrated as if he hasnt done nothing with his career.
