    I was just pointing out that a massive KO ratio doesn't prove you are any good, although Pavlik obviously is.

    And the other 12 are against totally unknown opponents, you can't say his power definetly carries.

    Pavlik is obviously the force at MW but when he steps above that against top quality opposition there remains that question.

    lol I thought you were a fan of Zuniga, but now i see through it.

    Zuniga gave Pavlik a pretty damn tough fight and even knocked him on his ass.

    And if i remember properly, Zuniga wanted to continue the fight but the cutman advised that it be stopped.

    I'm going with Pavlik by clear UD, Kelly wins on workrate though it will be rounds in which Hopkins will make Pavlik look amaturish. those will probably be the early rounds (say first 4 rounds).

    Pavlik has silenced all the critics with each improving performance.I think he took this fight knowing how tough it would be against the wiley old fox Hopkins.Just another challenge that will make Pavlik even better and a good prep fight for Calzaghe

    Yep -- serious questions, like; will he keep the KO ratio at 90%, or will we have to be satisifed with 85%. Okay, I'm being a smart ass, but Pavlik's KO ratio comes from more than just concussive power. Compare him to Abraham. In my opinion it is clear that Arthur has more concussive, one-punch power than Kelly. However, Kelly has the higher KO ratio, AND a better resume'. In other words, he has knocked out better fighters more often. Pavlik's knock outs come from work rate, stamina, accuracy, and heavy hands. His KO ratio may drop a little as he moves up, but it will still be impressive.

    I expect him to stop Hopkins inside 10 rounds mainly because BHop can not fight at Pavlik's pace for more than 5 or 6 rounds. Running out of gas against Pavlik is a very dangerous situation!

    From the sound of the Pavlik camp they are looking for a Knock Out!
    Hopkins job come Sat. is to Frustrate Kelly And make him use "Plan B"....

    That is what Bernard does best, Then we will see what Pavlik is made of.

    The fact that YOU didn't think Hop had the balls to do anything makes YOU suspect:rofl . Hop is going to do his best like he always does. He has never fouled himself out of a fight. He fouls, but he does it when the ref ain't looking lol. Pav is the perfect style for Hop. It will come down to if the old man is finally old, or on his game for one last fight.

    I'm with you uppercut lol. I hope the old man wins lol. Pav has a style suited for the old man, but can he pull the trigger, or is it too late lol...
