    Pavlik has very little chance.

    It would be an absolutely enormous upset if it happened.

    Far from. Ward has potential and good break the bad run American/Canadian based SMWs have when they try and fight in tough Europe against good European opposition in big fights.
    It is tougher in the SMW division coming up in Europe and due to America trying to hype fighters, many fighters like Rodriguez who havent done anything at all, get rated in the top 10 of the Ring compared to a fighter like Balzsay who has done more, same as Dirrell and Stevenson, though hes not american hes known because of a neighbouring country, whilst fighters like Balzsay and Magee who have done more dont get noticed because of where they are based.
    All seems very bias.

    If Ward can take on tough European comp in Europe and I dont mean past best already beaten fighters like Kessler who was previously exposed or old slow Froch, Ward may go places

    This scenario would likely be a case of a flame being snuffed out, not a new one being lit.

    Yes it was a big shock at the time. Douglas was something mad like 40-1, and Tyson I think P4P #1 at the time

    ?

    It has zero impact at MW, where Pavlik will never fight again and where Ward never has and never will fight. Zero impact on MW. Minimal impact on LHW at this point, being that neither of these guys has campaigned there either.
    ---
    A win by Pavlik over Ward would be huge and one of the best W's one could get across all of the divisions.

    I don't understand all the doubters for Ward. It's like Donaire pre-Montiel. The fact that people couldn't tell these guys were HOF level talents with what seems like the making of solid first ballot HOF entry resumes goes to show how shitty boxing fans are at putting aside their dislike for ones' nationality or personality.

    Lol, it would be amazing if he actually pulls it off somehow. I think he has a chance to hurt ward and once Pavlik gets a man hurt he has a very good chance to win. I think he will come in to the fight in very good shape also. And maybe Ward will take Kelly a little lightly, a little more lightly then a former 30 year old champ who beat the man should be taken.

    I saw a fight where Ward was badly rocked by an innocent looking punch. So you have to give Kelly a good punchers chance.

    For hardcore boxing fans,it would be a huge shock.
    And you guys are walking right into a trap that will turn this into a 20 page thread.
