The boxing media, and so called "hardcore" boxing fans, have rarely been realistic about Pavlik. If I felt like taking the time, I could drag up at least two articles that claimed he would have his hands full with Bronco McKart. The Pavlik/Miranda fight was a set up that was suppose to turn Miranda into the next middleweight superstar. Vegas odds on Pavlik/Taylor I were 8:5 in favor of JT.

When KP detroys his opponents and ruins their post Pavlik careers like he did Zertuche, Miranda, and Taylor, "he's just a crude slugger who fought soft opposition."

When he fights a smart, patient fight like Taylor II, Rubio, and Rosinsky, "he's not the fighter he used to be."

He scored a knock down or a knock out in 3 of his last 4 fights, but "he has no power at '68."

When a half drunk and weight drained Pavlik loses a hard fought 7-5 decision to a top 5 pound for pound fighter, "he got destroyed and humiliated."

And on and on it goes. In Hermit's public poll I picked Ward by close decision, and I'll stick with that. Many of the rest of you would do well to remember that the chances of Ward fighting a sick and injured Pavlik like BHop did, or a half drunk and weight drained Pavlik like Martinez did, are very slim. Furthermore, in spite of all the hoopla, Andre Ward does not pose the same kind of stylistic problems that Bernard and Sergio did. At the end of the day, most of the predictions and comments I read are somewhere between ridiculous and preposterous. Don't be surprised if this turns into the toughest fight of Ward's career.
