I would say on the objective criteria that this isn't 2007 or 2008. Since beating Taylor what exactly has Pavlik done? He's skipped out of more fights than he's actually fought. Lost pretty much every round to Hopkins, got cut to bits by a career 154lber, and struggled out a majority decision to a pretty terrible Alfonso Lopez. If it was 2008 it would be a great topic to discuss but you can't live off Taylor wins forever.
I'm from the UK and as far as I remember Taylor was clearly winning I know the judges saw differen but still.

The undercard is on Romanian TV now. Women's fight Ramona Kuehne - Renata Domsodi on now. Domdodi looks like a man.
Man, you have to let it go with Pavlik. I was a huge fan and at the Taylor fight, but Froch made it to the finals of the Super 6. His string of opponents his last 7-8 fights is far and away the best in boxing. He has accomplished way more than Pavlik, who has only talked about fighting champs. H2H 2012, Froch is way more relevant and accomplished. Not close in any way. Now, drunken 4 wheeler racing.....maybe a different story
I dont want to see this hypejob disgrace in the ring again. maybe next time he will hit another person when they are down and say it's legal to do so.
Dustin Dirks appears to be heavy-handed. Third round coming up, his opponent Sam Couzens is very aggressive, but it appears to be just a matter of time before he gets KOed.
You sound like a dumb person. I guess that Pacquiao avatar was an indication for us but still ... Oh and if you "don't want to see that hypejob disgrace", just don't watch it and don't feel forced to come tell it here, nobody cares about what a stupid ******* wants or doesn't want.
AA is no king, I'm a king, and Pacquiao is. AA is a dirty cheat, with very limited boxing skill or talent. The guy has NO SKILL, NONE! And at best is a B- level fighter, who only looked good against shot fighters. This guy arguably loss to Edison in their first fight, who sucks big donkey balls and has never come close to beating an elite fighter, or even making them struggle but AA went life and death with him. He was only able to beat C- Edison after having his chin destroyed by Pavlik, a real fighter and a real power puncher. AA is an average euro hypejob, with no defense, no other game plans, no way out, and overrated power. His boxing IQ and skills are so pathetic that he makes "FROCH", who is a crude, clumsy, slow yet strong and heart filled fighter, look like SRR in comparison. That's how horrible he is. No heart, glass body, glass bone strength, cement feet, street punk hooligan, frustrated, wild, cheating, and one ugly short muthafacker ... with NO SKILLS, NONE. I'm Tyler Durden, nucca.
Did not show much. Nobody doubts AA's power, he just is not a smw. He's too small. A fight with Sturm would be big over there.
