    this fight should not be allowed honestly...

    bhop is so over the hill its incredible

    i dont think anyone could convince me of any legit reasons too why watching this fight would be any good besides to see kelly pavlik get one more ko on his record

    Yeah, because so many people have KOed BHop.

    Whether or not you agree with it (I personally don't), Hopkins is a consensus top 20 P4P fighter and is generally considered to be a more dangerous matchup than any of the available options other than Calzaghe and Winky. Calzaghe is preoccupied, and Winky wasn't interested. It's a hell of a warmup fight for Abraham.

    The fight will probably be boring, but that's only because Hopkins fights are always boring, unless you're purely interested by the chess match aspect of boxing and don't give a crap about things like action.

    Hopkins is so boring to watch ... he might lure Kels into fighting his fight and possibly knock him out.

    If it weren't for Calzaghe's experience then it wouldve been trouble for him ...

    Kels doesn't have that elite level experience ... he just got on this level and hasn't fought someone as cagey as Hopkins ...

    Don't let Pavlik cut either...

    i know bhop has NEVER BEEN DROPPED or even shed blood in the ring... but theres a first time for everything and everyone must understand that..

    bhop is so old and testing his limits that against one of the hardest hitters in the game... im going to have to expect that he gets knockedout.. i just dont get it... how come when someone like floyd fights no matter who its against people complain because its going to be a boring fight.. but now we have hopkins (similar style to floyd) fighting someone who bangs all night and i havent heard one complaint yet...

    **** this fight

    i usually order most ppv's but i agree... ESPECIALLLLY with this fight...ill wait for the on demand replay....

    haha people want to see low #'s .. wait till this fight comes around
    you said roy and calzaghe has no selling point?
    WHOOOO its going to take steven spielberg to come up with an interesting plot for this fight

    and i would have payed to see pv vs pw

    and i dont understand the big attraction with the arthur abraham fight besides the fact that its the two top dogs of the division...

    i agree pavlik isnt god... but hes a damn good fighter..

    i dont see the same level in abraham ... he punches to wide and undisciplined... pavlik will take him out in between 7-11..

    with very few rounds being won by abraham.. with the exception of a punchers chance

    pw vs. pk would have been a million times more excitin especially after pw's last fight... could have been quite a buildup for it

    Fight aside, I'm just sick and tired of Hopkins.

    I'm sick of his self-righteous, prima-donna bull****.
    I'm sick of his bullying, racist callouts.
    I'm sick of his boring style.
    I'm sick of his dirty tactics.
    I'm sick of his acting injured to buy time and points.
    I'm sick of his bad sportsmanship when he wins.
    I'm sick of his whining when he loses.

    Hop doesn't win - but he doesn't get KO'd either.

    Pavlik UD.

    It's a fight I'm looking foward too.
