Hopkins doesnt have the lungs to keep the young gun off him anymore. Hop did enough skill to out point Pavlik. Hopkins should retire.
because hbo might be turned off after hopkins v wright and hopkins v calzaghe and might not want this fight. i do not see where pavlik gains from a hopkins fight.
Pavlik has a reputation for getting reluctant fighters to fight. That said I don't see Pavlik fighting at 175 until he is completely finished at 160 ( until then the highest I think he'll go is 168 ) and I don't see Hopkins going down to frm 175. ( that time has passed )
Hopkins would get sparked the **** out :deal Let's not forget what the writers are saying about this matchup
