Maybe now but if you think it would happen in their primes you could be wrong. Echols hit just as hard as Pavlik and Hopkins beat him twice.
I didnt say prime, i said Right now, Im waiting for the X fans to come in and use the BHOP is a bigger man crap.
Imo he wouldn't get anywhere near Winky!!, Winky is still young enough to deal with the pressure!!, and with his brilliant defense coupled with the southpaw stance i think he'd give Pavlik major problems!!, technically imo Winky is much better than Taylor and look how Taylor was schooling him in the first 5 rounds!!, Winky covers up too tight to be caught with his left hand down like Jermain was so many times tonight!!.. i truely believe Winky could beat this guy.
I say pavlik beats Bhop and maybe, just maybe Winky...but I don't think he would stop them. Just because I think when they're smart fighters...they are not afraid to hold is need to.
I do not know if he is ready for someone like Winky I think Pavlik is truley amazing he is a machine but winky is IMO the best boxer all around in boxing.He is just to set to get knocked out he is always ready.
Right now, at 160 Pavlik might beat Hopkins bad bcuz Hops eventually lost stamina at that weight but at 170 and above Hopkins still has a chance bcuz his experience would show the flaws in Pavlik's style. Id pick Hops of 4-5 years ago for sure.
