Dont side step my points mate. Martinez didnt leave on a stretcher and david lopez has feet made of concrete blocks and hasnt got the power to knock out guys like saul roman, and michael walker let alone trouble a strong middle like pavlik. That olympian lopez fought also turned out to have a glass jaw and if you watch that fight you can see how poor he is.
My boys? :? N'Jikam is Camaroonian and Golovkin is Kazakhstani. Only time can prove you right or wrong on your overrated claims, so we'll see. I expect them both to have more successful careers than Lopez. Secondly, Lopez wouldn't provide much problems for Pavlik which is why he is a perfect comeback fight. He has very little upper body movement and his lateral movement is almost non existant (which was the key to Martinez's victory over Pavlik). The one attribute that does stand out is his heart but that can only carry you so far. Sure he'll land a few shots on Pavlik but won't trouble him. When Pavlik lands on Lopez, which is inevitable given how immobile Lopez is, he'll hurt him badly. The one attribute that does stand out is his heart but that can only carry you so far. I agree Lopez deserves a shot, he's done things the hard way. I've nothing against him, just don't think he has any exceptional qualities and when he fights top guys he will be beaten again. He's the classic nearly man. I can see why you have a soft spot for him.
Are we talking about David Lopez? The same fighter that has 12 losses in which 9 of them was by ko? Of course booradley wants Pavlik to fight him cause he's an easiest opponent ever for Pavlik. I bet Winky Wright even right now will finally win by ko in the 2000's by beating Lopez.
Lopez has lost 12 times in which 9 were by ko/tko lol. Come on this is a real mismatch to say the least in favor of Pavlik.
I also said I would favour Pavlik heavily in the fight. He's been on a really good run and is is more deserving of a shot than Jacobs or Pirog were and they got the go ahead.
You had to know, from the beginning, the Box Rec warriors would show up, and totally disregard tha fact that Lopez's record over the past 7 years is 20-1, and he hasn't lost in over 5 years.
Did you just looked that up on Boxrec Even with Lopez suspect chin, picking Winky to win by KO is a dumb call.
