    I give Hopkins a chance. We don't yet know how Pavlik will fare against someone as awkward as Hopkins.

    I'd love to see the old warhorse beat the young lion, to my knowledge I can't think of any 44 year old former champ in the history of boxing who took on and beat an undisputed world champ in his prime.

    Great way for Hopkins to end his career.

    Unlikely to happen I guess, but he may well confuse the hell out of Pavlik we just don't know for sure.

    The weight may be significant. Pavlik didn't look too hot the last time out against Jermain Taylor, a little sluggish and lethargic at times.

    I'm rooting for the Nard but you got to give Pavlik the edge.

    I'm putting my bet on Hopkins. I don't know but I see something in him that would make Pavlik ineffective. I'm predicting a late KO in this fight. Pavlik's jabs would not not work with Hopkins' style.
