Pavlik/Hopkins Finalized

Im am going out on a limb here but this fight is going to mirror Trinidad Hopkins ..Hopkins no diffrent than in the Trinidad fight is an underdog ,I know people will bring up age but my rebuttle is exprience ..And I know Pavlik is not Tito but he doesn't have more speed than Tito ..

If people are banking on Pavlik's jab rewatch the Winky fight and watch how Hopkins took away Winky's most effective punch ..Better yet people banked on Taylor's jab in their fight he took that weaopn away as well.

Pavlik is going to be extremely frustrated when he can't catch Hopkins flush .


If im wrong then cudos to Pavlik for continuing to step up..And he will be a step closer to cementing his legacy ...And on a side note apparantly Pavlik has taken over as the man in Ac over Gatti does anyone agree with that ??

 

Great Post :good

 

I hope to revist these so called myth once Hopkins schools him ..For all the opponents you mentioned not once did u mention the following :

None of them have the defense of a Bernard Hopkins not a single one .

His most notable wins McKart (Long past his best since his trilogies with Wright at 154 ).Miranda ,Taylor and Lockett are all fighters with supect defense and maybe quetionable chins ..With Hopkins that is not the case ..

I don't exepct either fighter to get KO'ed ..Because one Pavlik won't catch Hopkins like he did Taylor and 2 I don't see Hopkins Ko ing Pavlik since he himself is not a knock out type of fighter and Pavlik has a solid chin ..Now onto the fight itself : What is going to happen when Kelly can't find Hopkins at the end of his punches ? His power comes at the end of his punches Hopkins is either going to be in his chest or circle around his power ..

Unless he has the hand speed of a Taylor or Calzaghe I don't see how he is going to out work Hopkins with Plodding and yes he plods ..He was coming forward inch by inch when JT caught him and nearly end the fight in their first encounter ..So I wonder how is it that you missed all of these things when discussing Pavlik ? Im no hater I love the kid im just a realist who beleives in experience ..

Bernards defense isn't what it once was. And as stamina goes so does defense, to some extent. Also Hopkins has a great chin, but it's not made of steel and to this point it has been somewhat hidden by his seemingly flawless defense that is now on the slide. And Calzaghe never fought anybody with the defense of Hopkins either, but ended up landing on him more then a prime Jones did........

 

It isn't what it once was ? His face after the Calzaghe fight looked like he wasn't even in a fight ?


Those punch stat numbers may have been gossley exagerrated considering many of those so called shots never landed flush but yet his defense is not what it once was ? But then again Pavlik doesn't have Joe's hand speed so im not worried about him cathing Hopkins like Joe did ..

 

I never said McKart had a questionable chin but defense yes and by the time Kelly fought him he was waaaaay past his best you even have to admit that ..He hasn't been worth mentioning since his fights with Wright but you act is if he is something worth mentioning now

..And with regards to that Taylor remark I included the video and he was inching forward just like you stated before Taylor nailed him I think u my friend should go re watch that tape ..Its clear your in full denial !


Miranda saying someone is fast is that really credible ? And Taylor well whats he going to say he got beat up in a corner !If you think Kelly has fast hands then you must also think a turtle can keep up with a cheetah in a foot race ..

I am not too dam stubborn I call them like I see it no diffrent then when Pavlik first fought Miranda go look it up (and im even Colombian )I picked Pavlik when the rest of the boxing world picked Edison ..I also said Pavlik by KO because Edison swings to wildley ..And if Hopkins does manged to get ktfo then im the one that looks like the fool ..And if he does do that I wil go as far as admitting that he will KO Calzaghe as well but from what I seen so far I don't see how he will beat Hopkins or even KO him ..That of course all chagnges if somehow Hopkins does actually show his age but up to this point he has not,only the real haters think so ..

 

:rofl I wouldn't call those wins beatings but he did best him twice ..And that doesn't neccessarily equate to truth .Styles make fights .

 

Goodnight Bernard.

After he wakes up from his beating he will start whining and complaining about the judges or the lighting or the material that the ropes were made out of or his gloves were strapped on too tight or ------u get the picture.

 

Well see on Oct 18th ..Its going to look like Hopkins Trinidad watch
