HAHA - Well I am not a seasoned boxer that is carved out of wood. But they are... He would need to outsmart Hopkins, and/or have better footwork to gain the distance from Hopkins.
Out of the people Jack Leow mentioned I like Winky best. That's a fight that would show us how Pavlik does against someone he is pissed off at and doesn't like!
These have to be the two big fights they are trying to build Pavlik up for. Abraham just had his name expanded with the Miranda KO. I think everything is ready for these three to cross blades in early 2009 or so.
