Hopkins vs Pavlick @ 168lbs?

Question

I say Pavlick, what do you think?

Answer 1

pavlik is too strong for hopkins and lands too many and throws to many punches for hopkins to handle, i believe that pavlik would easily beat hopkins.

Answer 2

kelly pavlick should get him

Answer 3

No question it would be a tough fight, pavlik hits hard and is relentless in the ring , but i still would go with hopkins to win this one. How good is Pavlik really ... well nobody knows yet. Taylor could have beat him especialy in the rematch as well as the first fight but well Taylor is Taylor he runs out of gas a lot I suppose and just sometimes chooses to only fight in spurts but Taylor defintly has the tools to beat Pavlik just crumbled under the pressure I guess. So its hard to say how good Pavlik really is with 2 wins over taylor and 1 over miranda thats about all he has on his resume. I would really want to see pavlik vs calzaghe. I think hopkins could beat Pavlik though , Hopkins has a great chin and is very hard to hit with flush shots. He is also a master counter puncher, I could see Hopkins possibly even knocking pavlik out. I mean why not Taylor nearly did it in the first fight with Kelly. I think it would be a good fight though but like I said its hard to say how good pavlik really is till we see him in there with some more good/top fighters.

Answer 8

Hopkins is too smart to take that fight, especially at this stage of his career. Pavlik would probubly beat a prime Hopkins as well.

Answer 9

I believe Pavlick would beat an old hopkins.

Answer 10

pavlik would beat the hopkins of today, but not a prime hopkins who is a top 5 all time middleweight (or supermiddle for that matter if he had moved up a lot sooner).
