    Seems that no one is even giving Lockett any kind of chance even though he can bang a bit.
    Lockett made a fair point in an interview i read saying that he has absolutely nothing to lose, and a guy with nothing to lose can often be at his most dangerous. Add that to the fact that Pavlik is more than likely looking past Lockett towards bigger fish like Calzaghe etc
    So what you guys think?

    Or they understand that Pavlik will use his height/reach/power/skill advantage to keep Lockett at range where he can't land that punch. :D Seriously, this is a tall order for Lockett.

    Agreed, But the idea of a punchers chance is that no matter how small, even if its 0.001%, its still a CHANCE.

    Thus, the answer to the question is Yes.

    The question wasn't asking does lockett have a reasonable punchers chance.

    But yeah, lockett is done for.

    anytime you step in the ring, you have a punchers chance.

    Lockett does indeed have a punchers chance, but Pavlik has the bigger punch, so therefore bigger chance. In my opinion Pavlik Rnd 3
