A bad style matchup for a 43 year old B-Hop, especially after his weakness showed by Calzaghe. If Pavlik can eat his power, he has a real shot at knocking him out. Hop shouldnt take this fight, he should leave it to the diva, Winky.
I agree. Hopkins has never token a beating in his career. He might in this fight
It's not the ideal fight for me as a Pavlik fan and I guy who really respects Hopkins, but it's not every day that you get to see your favorite fighter take on a true legend and I will definitely be there to witness it. On one hand, I'd rather see Kelly beat someone in their prime like a Williams and on the other, as much as I will root for Kelly to knock out B-Hop(and I think he can and will), it would be sad to see Hopkins go out on his back with two straight losses. That being said, it's the perfect scenario of the torch being passed to the next great middleweight champ, the lofty expectations that B-Hop's conqueror Jermain Taylor never lived up to.
SRCJJ, does your name mean Sugar Ray Clay Jones Jr?
Yeah, had no ideas what to put and I actually know Anthony Smalls (he used trained a few youths in our area for a couple of weeks). So I just used it, not a fan of Smalls but the name is cool.

Who the fukk is Sugar Ray Clay Jones Jr and Anthony Small and are they the same guy?
Pavlik might aswell fight Hopkins because he's fast running out of opponents. Hopkins is still crafty enough to give him a real test anyway so he'll get credit from me. I see Pavlik pulling out a UD but if he knocks him out then it'll set up the Calzaghe fight very nicely indeed. Hopkins ain't getting KO'd though.
Jeez, Bernard is getting retarded. He will lose this fight and won't that make him 2 wins and 4 losses for the last part of his career? People are always praising him but all I see here is ignorance and a cocky attitude. Kelly's gonna beat him straight into retirement.
