    I highly doubt he said that. And if he did.... his drinking problem is more serious then anyone thought.

    Anyone who thinks Pavlik is more skilled then Floyd should go Edwin Valero themselves.

    Now, this is a very general statement. These things need context.

    For instance, you can make a specific observation of a type of skill:

    Is Pavlik more skilled at controlling distance with a jab than Mayweather? Yes.

    Is Pavlik more skilled at punching off a pivot than Mayweather? No.

    Just asking if he's "more skilled" all-around can only lead to ambiguity when you're talking about two world-class fighters with different styles in different divisions, where no head-to-head comparison or analysis of common opposition is available.

    The only thing Pav does better then Floyd is get his ass kicked.

    Pavlik would destroy Mayweather and Pac, one after the other in a 24-rounder... but it'd only go 5 total.

    That's not a nice thing to say.

    I just really think that Mayweather has handpicked all his opponents whilst Palik has fought the great Bernard Hopkins who was at a matured (and therefore peaked) stage of his career. He lost but he showed grit and determination in the process. The Martinez loss was to a top quality fighter, and it was just a blip. Pavlik is a great ring general whereas Mayweather is just a safety first runner.

    Why stop at Pryor? Why not a match-up with prime DLH? Or Sugar Shane Mosley? Or how about Alexis Arguello?
