I hope Hopkins doesn't fight Pavlik

I think Hopkins is smart enough to know who he can and can't beat at this point in time and what type of fighter he should and shouldn't get in the ring with.

 

I hope Ex fights the Ghost...

...and gets KTFO'ed to overdue retirement.:bbb

 

No way in hell could Pavlik KO Bhops north of 160 !! Stop smoking crack people Hopkins doesn't make the mistakes Taylor makes !

 

The reason Pavlik had a high out put against Taylor is because Taylor elected to box ..Against Hopkins it be a lead right then a hold over and over again ..Hopkins is crafty as hell he has the ability to take a fighter jab away as well as frustrate them ..Unless Hopkins eventually gets slowed down by father time I don't see how the Ghost beats him ..

 

I think people are being a little too optimisitic about Hopkins right now. I think a young and active fighter can definitely beat Hopkins. That's his cryptonite right now because that will keep him at bay somewhat. JT is a perfect example of that. Just JT's activity alone kept Hopkins from coming forward in some rounds.

Hopkins is great right now but not against every type of fighter IMO. He needs to fight guys who are slower and have a low work rate so he can pick his spots.

 

If he cannot even defeat a Pavlik level fighter anymore, then he is by no means 'p4p' worthy.

 

If Pavlik continues on his current path, there is a very good chance that he'll be an ATG. This is especially true after he crushes Kessler.

 

I'd hate to see Hopkins fight Pavlik. Pavlik is a very exciting fighter and Hopkins can make evry fight boring with his constant clinching. I wish the guy would just go away.

 

As much as i would like to see Hopkins get beat for all the boring fight he has put us through i think he would dominate Pavlik. He is so damn crafty. you know he is not going to stand straight in front of him and brawl he is gonna clinch his way to a victory and just frustrate Pavlik.

 

Hopkins at 42 im sure knows his limitations, a 25 yr old kid with an iron jaw and an insane workrate would be to much to overcome, Hops is fearless so don't rule it out, he's also never been stopped, so IF it does happen you can't help to see the old man suffer a 1 sided beating, and a lopsided decision defeat..:deal

 

If Hopkins came to 160 or 168 to face Pavlik he would lose.

 

The only one who has a proven iron chin is BHops.

 

yep at 160-168 he gets completly demolished, the kid is too busy in his fights and put too much pressure and has the tools to beat hops badly at this stage, HOP needs to stay away from this fight
