Hopkins will make it competitive but no way he has the legs or the stamina to survive 12 rounds, he had to have almost 5 minutes rest on a BS low blow from Calzaghe. And yet even after that break Hopkins still look tired and yet he fought at a very slow pace, and Calzaghe was never able to really get his workrate going either. So that is worrying for Hopkins that he was exhausted in a snail pace fight..........

So if Hopkins was puffing like the old man he is against Calzaghe who is no puncher, can you imagine how exhausted he will be under Pavlik's power punches ? Pavlik may not be as skilled as Calzaghe but he will put the pressure on for 3 minutes of every round, and he will wear out Hopkins far more effectively than Calzaghe was able to, i see Pavlik TKO Hopkins in 9 or 10.
