Hopkins, easilly. EDIT: sorry, thought you said which was the BETTER FIGHT... Better action? Yes, I'll give it to Rubio... I'd probably get more excited PRE-fight with Pav-Hopkins
No brainer . . . Pavlik vs Rubio. Knowing Hopkins . . . he will do his usual thing . . . move, fake, hold and tie up after throwing 12 punches per round. The best Bhops can do is to try to prolong the fight by not exchanging with Pavlik . . . he will make Pavlik look bad and claim he won the fight . . . as ussual.
In terms of out and out slugging action Pavlik vs Rubio is a much better fight.:bbb Pavlik vs Hopkins is gonna ugly :!: ugly:!: ugly:!:
I terms of action Pavlik/Rubio would be a short and brutal affair. Pavlik/Hopkins will be a real learning experience for KP.
