This confirms it! Pavlik has some of the craziest fans in boxing history.

Im willing to bet hard cash that Hopkins doesnt get knocked out or even down.

Just like nobody thought marquez could ko casamayor. This will be a major test for Pavlik's offence. If his offence can obliterate Hopkin's defence, then i fear Calzaghe doesn't have a chance in hell of beating Pavlik.

Casamayor has looked God awful in recent fights and against Katsidis was put clean out of the ring. He got completely schooled by Santa Cruz and looked shit even in winning the belt against Coralles three years back.

You can't even compare him to Hopkins, he was just done, like Morales.


Hopkins has never come close to being knocked out and more importantly boxes so carefully he doesn't get caught in a situation where its likely to happen.

My guess is Pavlik won't land a hard damaging shot on him all night but will win through workrate alone.

I expect Pavlik to be caught flush at least 3 or 4 times in this fight though and will likely have a couple shaky moments.

But Hopkins ain't getting knocked out by Pavlik, not even close. Hopkins is just one of those fighters who doesn't get knocked out. If he's hurt he'll spoil and hold. If Pavlik gets hurt on the other hand.........

Lol, Don't get mad guys

Looking forward to seeing how Pavlik handles this fight - I don't think Hopkins gets KO'd as he has enough ringcraft to see him over the finishing line. Even so, Pavlik should win on workrate as Hopkins will gas out in the second half of the fight and not throw enough punches.

Bernard Hopkins did look somewhat close to getting stopped against Mercado on the first knockdown, he was seriously shaken up. Even James Toney looked somewhat close to getting stopped against Reggie Johnson, when he got put down heavily on a overhand left.

But i understand your point and i do agree i just thought, id throw them two examples in there though.

Personally, I don't think Pavlik will knock Bhop out. I think bhop showed that even as a shot fighter, he is crafty and intelligent.

But...as the post posits...what if Pavlik does knock out Bhop? Will it completely legitimize him in the eyes of fans? He will be doing something Calzaghe, Winkie, Taylor, ODLH, Trinidad, the list goes on, could not do. Granted, Bhop is 43 now, but knocking out Bhop is a great feat. Even more special since Calzaghe was only able to eek out a win against Bhop. Whatever you want to say, in terms of skill-level, Bhop can't be too different than he was against Calzaghe.

Either way, if Pavlik beats Bhop and Abraham beats Marquez, not only do we have a fight for all the chips, but potentially we have an all-time great middleweight matchup. I'll fly to Vegas for that one. Bet your money on it.

No they didn't thats BS many people thought it would go the distance, very few people on any boxing forum i see, thought Marquez would be able to stop Casamayor. In fact more people thought Casamayor had a better chance at Koing Marquez.
