    Hop is 43, but I think he's on HGH -which is OK by me. Don't under-estimate him in this fight, although I think Kelly will never be as careless as he was with Taylor.

    This fight is a complete joke, and on PPV even, it's 100 times worse. Anyone who buys this **** should be banned from watching boxing forever.

    HGH???

    :verysad

    Have you ever SEEN the amount of training this guy goes through on a regular basis??? He is ****ing bionic (tho the batteries ran out a bit toward the end of the Calzaghe fight...:hey )...with the amount of fighters who come in out of shape and disinterested in training IN THEIR PRIMES....a fighter like Hopkins is a credit to the sport.

    So he's a glorified gym rat. So what? James Toney doesnt have a good physique, and would castrate Bernard Hopkins inside those ropes, and if Borenard doesnt believe it, he needs to eat a ****in' cheesburger, and meet Toney mano a mano, baby.:good

    If Hopkins is not gonna retire, then Pavlik may aswel take advantage of it. Take the fight. He should/will learn from the fight. More so than fighting Williams. The Hopkins bout will be interesting and along the same lines as Dawson/Tarver. Young guns versus the old guard type thing. I'd hevaily favour Pavlik to win and may even force a stoppage, but BHOP can never be ruled out.

    I support this fight. Why all the complaining? I just hope Hopkins has some gas left in the tank to make interesting.

    You know what I love is, that remember all those people who sided with Arum regarding fights with faded fighters such as Jones and Hopkins but now he turns and makes this fight for Pavlik ..What a hypocrite ..Where are all his supporters now ?

    If Pavlik doesn't win obviously the Calzaghe fight would never happen.

    Pavlik Vs. Williams a much better fight. Hopkins is not sure at all.
