Just read the article. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/boxing/2009-10-23-pavlik-allergic-reaction_N.htm
he should just retire. boxing needs a new middleweight champ that will actually defend against REAL challengers instead of guys like lockett and rubio. =\
I mean, if not retire at least vacate the belts for the sake of the sport. This is probably the weakest division in boxing and nothing can move before these belts are vacated. If he plans on returning next year thats great, he'll be pleasantly welcomed, but the sport moves on. 2 defenses in 2 years doesn't cut it
Typical hater bull****. Pretending Pavlik only fought twice since winning the titles tells me you are either the worst kind of calzombie, or you've got an arthur abraham blow up doll under your bed.
You know, I hope Pavlik recovers from this and gets back into the ring next year. But at the same time, I am really disgusted that he wasted Paul Williams' time the way he did. He obviously wasn't going to be in any kind of condition to fight in December. Why put everyone through all the "announcements"?
What's next for the boy? Swine Flu? Mad Cow Disease? SARS? Bird Flu? Ice Cream Headache? Poison Ivy? Diaper Rash?
Damn ! I thought the article was going to be about the day Arum told Kelly he HAD to fight King Arthur ! :yep Seriously, he seems to have had a bad time of it. Hope he gets well soon and back into the ring.
Staph is some fd up shite. I hope he recovers and comes back. To many haters on this site. They need to drink a cup of shut the f**k up. To many good fights going on to be all over Pav.
Kelly Pavlik is the biggest joke in boxing, his fans are nearly as big a joke. Believing bull**** articles like this. Pussied out against Williams who I actually thought Pavlik would beat. Pavlik is about as relevant in boxing as Anthony Mundine. Pavlik should be stripped of his titles and forced to work his way back up the rankings. Seems like he's had this "injury" forever. What a *****. DIED LOL dont make me ****ing laugh, what a bull**** article. Booradley you've really outdone yourself this time. At the end of the day, if Pavlik was in the Super6 he would be odds on to finish 5-6th possibly ahead of Taylor..maybe. Thats why he didnt enter. He's not an elite fighter, Hopkins showed us that...and now Kelly himself has shown that hes not a real fighter at all. **** Pavlik.
