I think Hopkins was right that Pavlik's future was at middleweight; it sucks that he doesn't look like he's going to be able to make that weight now but such is boxing.

Did you see BHop on ESPN2 picking Pavlik to win on Friday night? When I saw that I was thinking he hoped Kelly would win because if he lost, it might take some of the luster off his win over him. Looks like BHop exposed Kelly that night.
