    Pavlik was fun to watch for the most part, but his MW reign was awful

    Pavlik was clearly vastly overrated due to his being american

    If GGG was there as Pavlik's #1 contender, at least Kelly would've fought him and given him his chance.

    07 belonged to Pavlik. If you can't admit that then your an idiot.

    Yes, Kelly Pavlik was the Fighter of the Year in 2007. A lot of people forget that because of the B-Hop fight, and how the rest of his career played out.

    He beat the man who beat the man, **** for brains.

    It's laughable listening to all you Brittards running down Kelly.

    In his prime, he would have stopped any one of your so called "bumper crop" of UK middleweights. The Ghost beats Murray, Macklin, Barker et al.

    One thing for sure. You never had to worry about Kelly getting dehydrated.

    No you listen you dumb f u c k I n g yank , Kelly have drink pavlik may of beaten the man that beat the man but let's not forget the man was jermain Taylor not exactly a middleweight great was he if you are being honest . My old man used to like a british boxer called john h stracey who once won the world welterweight title by stopping Jose napoles in Mexico . Now that made stracey the man that beat the man and of course napoles was a much better world champion and boxer than Taylor . That said my old man would not attempt to try to convince anyone that stracey was any better than he actually was . The truth is pavlik was a fighter that over achieved he was and is overrated by a lot of yanks simply because he is american if he were a European fighter Americans would say in Taylor he beat a poor champion with a stamina problem

    I don't give a **** about your old man, so save your family anecdotes for someone who gives a ****.

    Bottom line- Kelly would have beaten Macklin and Barker-- two fighters you Brittards rate-- to a ****ing pulp. Yet Kelly is "overrated."

    Well what a surprise an aggressive response on a personal level from a american :fight :lol:


    Ok this is for the hard of thinking look at my posts if you have the concentration levels to do so dummy . Where can you find any reference to Murray , macklin or barker you won't as I didn't mention them .so you mr clever pants don't actually know how I rate them do you fool and You won't will you you stupid ******* as I haven't suggested anywhere that any of them would of beaten pavlik so you keep bringing them up all you want . As by doing so all you are doing is making yourself look thicker than you actually are
