    LoL. Nah, he aint gonna forget about it. LoL. But Bernard better come in with more burst & stamina then his previous 3 fights. He's gonna have to hit Pavlik with something hard to slow him down.

    His last 3 fights were against fighters that had much more experience than Pavlik ..Pavlik looks good against fighters who have complimented his style.

    With Hopkins school will be in session for Young Kelly ..

    Not always about experience though. Pavlik hits harder than his last 3 opponents. Pavlik hits hard and I just dont know if Bernard can handle it.

    I don't know about that there is no proof that he hits harder than Tarver...

    And it is all about experience what happens when Pavlik can't find Hopkins at the end of his punches where most of his power is ? Its usually is about experience but there is always that great equalizer...But in this fight expereience will be the edge not power...

    But also, stamina will play a factor. And Pavlik is gonna be in better shape then Tarver. And unlike the Tarver fight, Pavlik will be the aggressor. Experience does play a big part in this fight cause thats what might just win BHOP the fight. But Pavlik still has the advantage in this fight

    I don't see any advantages other than power that Pavlik has over Hopkins ..

    Hopkins will tire and fade towards the end of a fight. Look at how he needed that break in the Calzaghe fight and he didnt even manage to dominate the fight after it.

    Theres every chance he could slip up late, get knocked out and this could be the last b-hop fight we get to see. On the other hand Hopkins was an elite in his prime and still has the intelligence to beat pavlik, thats what makes it a great fight.
