    Should he and Abraham still fight since Pavlik would still be champ at 160?

    It comes down to how he's defeated.

    He will lose to Hopkins but he still should fight Abraham altough AA is looking at Winky now

    Yes. He is still the champ at 160.

    I personally think Pavlik would vacate his titles, he does not strike me as the kind of guy that will hold any belts after a loss, even though its 10lbs over his natural weight. Bank on him vacating the 160lbs belts, moving up to the SMW division.

    It would be a knock to Abraham's legacy if AA would fight and beat him. Same as when Abraham defeated Miranda in their second fight b/c Miranda was considered a left-over from Pavlik...

    I can't see him losing to BHop. At the very least he wins a UD based on ring generalship, aggressiveness and punch output. Hopkins knocked Joe down with a jab in the first round and went on to lose the fight.

    Don't get me wrong, I love what Hopkins has done in his career, but I just dont think there is anything left in the tank.
