Picture the 2nd round of the first Taylor fight. But Kelly doesnt make it out. I do think the fight goes longer with bit of give and take from both guys...but I think Kelly gets stopped eventually.
imagine a prune getting stomped on by a size 12 doc marten. that would be pavliks head after a McClellan cross landed. pavliks come forward/defense compromised style would play right into the hands of McClellan.
Thank god ppl agree with me. I was worried after what i read in the McClennan V Calzaghe thread. Pavlik doesn't even have a punchers chance, Benn abd Jackson hit McClennan with bombs.
McClennan is a problem for Pavlik. He's fast; he can move; he can pepper you and get out. KP would probably walk right into a storm. That said, he's got a solid enough jab to keep him at bay and avoid just getting blown away in the first round like half of McClellan's opponents, and he's a tough enough customer himself, so a mid-late stoppage would probably be on the cards.
Gmn is just so overrated its funny. It is an interesting human tendency to overrate people who have been injured or are dead. The best actors were always the ones who died young. The best rock legends died early and so on. I sure way to get overrated groddly is to retire or die after an early success. Lacy should hhave taken notes.
G-Man would destroy Pavlik, inside a couple of rounds. Pavlik is one of the few MW's more hyped than G-Man.
Let;s ask ourselves.. Who is better: Dennis Milton Ralph Ward Bernard Hopkins ? Pavlik lost to Hopkins, while the two unknows defeated Gerald. Now - could Gerald have beaten Hopkins? Could Pavlik have beaten Ralhp and Dennis? Think about that. Try not to fall for the 'he is retired early so let's add 400% to his skill and imagine what could have been". This Hopkins, Ralph and Dennis. Think.
I'm not asking his overall rating/legacy etc, I am asking who wins, Pavlik V Mcclennan, its not hard to comprehend.
Could Taylor have beaten Hopkins? the guy Pavlik beat twice... oh wait... dumbass suggestion. Could Pavlik have taken Jackson and Benns Bombs? unlikely, but it doesnt matter, McClennan has better footwork, better skills, harder punch, more solid chin, and a hell of a lot faster. Pavlik has better defence, thats it.
Why would you bring up Benn? He KTFO Gerald. And answer me this: Would Ralph and Dennis have beaten Pavlik like they beat Gerald?
because Benn would have taken Pavlik out in 2 rounds. The only answer you need is, McClennan is 10times teh fighter Pavlik is.
You are talking out your arse. Who is better? John Mugabi and Julian Jackson or Dennis Milton and Ralph Ward. G-Man dropped the ball when he was barely out of his teens...big deal. He came back to ****ing ice some very good fighters...Kelly would have been another one of them. That is fair dinkum some of the stupidest logic Ive read on this forum...and thats saying something.
