In the end Pavlik will be a bigger star then Hopkins

Yeah, he definitely is not very skillful, but I think he CAN be effective and prevail when fighting the best, as his two wins over a good, skilled champion like Taylor proved.
And most of the time, when one uses the word "bum" in here, it is to describe a no good fighter, hence my objection to you calling him a bum. :good

 

I doubt it. Bhop has a great resume that only an all time great has.

 

Floyd was selling 350k ppv vs Baldomir...Gatti wasn't making the money Floyd made off lessor opponents...

De La Hoya made his best numbers against Floyd and so did Hatton. Do you think Hatton-Malignaggi will have the buzz Floyd-Hatton did?

Floyd was making greater than 8 mil per fight before DLH...Hatton was not. I know you would like believe Floyd or Hopkins income has nothing to do with them but thats completely fiction...

 

How much do you earn a year?

 

well the difference between pavlik and hopkins, is that hopkins was already up there before even fighting pavlik. pavlik has a looooooooong way to go before achieving half of what hopkins has already achieved.

get over it people

 

Yes, Pavlik is still great at 160 and will be more awesome with time.

 

Pavlik has a chance of growing his star again, but it won't be easy. Alot of people are really apathetic right now.

 

He will get Pavlik fame.

 

the fame he's getting right now

 

You compared B-Hop's stardom to Pavlik's at 26 with ring earnings for only measure of stardom. That doesn't work.

First off the unit of measure is wrong when comparing athletes from different age groups because of the different economical factors. By your logic, any average boxer fighting nowadays would be ahead of ATG's like SRL, Duran, Hagler and Hearns because 'he's making more money'.

Two, opportunities or lack thereof will play a significant role in one boxer's fame. Lack of competition in a specific weight division may give a prospect access to championship bouts at a younger age than another prospect who would need to climb his way up in a competitive weight division.

Three, media coverage. Ever heard McLuhan's catch phrase: 'The medium is the message?' You're as big as media willingness to showcase you.

Four, it's Thusday and I'm gonna get my knob shined by Schmoopsie-poo of Montreal Wiener Warmers.

 

Hopkins is a star among stars and Pavlik is a hero for zeros.

Its a whole other level.

 

Once Abraham schools pavlik this question will be answered!

Hopkins will always be on another level...better skills, better wins..
oh and a harder headbutt!!

 

what are you smoking? i want some of that

 

Looking on the bright side at least Pavlick's chin held up.

 

Hopkins is a dull as dishwater.
