    I dont think Hopkins will be knocked out. If he gets hurt he'll hold until the fight is over.

    I find it amazing that people think Hopkins maybe hurt or knocked out by a one dimensional plodder despite no-one else being able to do that before.

    But Pavlicks has already PROVEN to the whole wide world (ie American teenagers) that he can smash everything in his path like a juggernaut going through a glass factory. Proven time (Miranda) and time (Taylor I) and time (Lockett) again... how can anyone even doubt this phenom talent is beyond me. I would compare Pavlicks to Margarito except, Pavlicks dances around the ring (his footwork and movement is highly under rated you see), has higher workrate, the best jab in the business, potential defence of Pernell Whittaker and a bigger puncher than prime Tyson. At least, that's what I've read from Pavlicks fans who have seen a lot more of him than me.

    I just can't wait for B-hop to go out losing to two "white boys" in a row. :happy

    Roach just said 30 minutes ago on Jim Rome that Hopkins will get seriously hurt.

    Yep, Roach seems to think an undertaker might be more up to the task. :-( I don't want to see ANYONE seriously hurt in the ring.

    Yup I agree, I think we should all be seriously concerned about Roach. The Parkinsons must be worsening if he's worrying about Hopkins more than Pac, a former flyweight campaining at 135 who is jumping up to 147 to face a former 154 champ.

    Did you read how much **** he was saying about Oscar? He was talking all that ****, but on the 24/7 of PBF & DLH his words were totally opposite. Now he's talking about Hopkins. Real trainers dont bash their fighters infront of the media. Roach is on some **** right now.

    I've lost alot of respect for him over the last month. I just cant believe all the good stuff he head to say about Oscar on the 24/7 of PBF vs DLH. And then for him to turn on him like that. And now coming out to the media and talking about Hopkins. Straight disrespect for that guy.

    Freddy is talking **** because Hopins lost and he trained him just like with Hoya. I personally feel Hopkins won that one.

    **** Freddy.

    I think Hopkins' experience and "tricks of the game" can pull him through.

    He's a sneaky mufu and can frustrate the **** out of anyone he's fighting.
