ESPN: Pavlik cant get anyone to really spar with Because He is hurting everyone!

Froch exposed the very weaknesses I spent years telling people AA had. Carl could have knocked Arthur out toward the end of the fight, but McKracken told him to exersize a little caution, and box his way to a finish. (An ESB member heard this conversation in the Froch corner.)

The weaknesses Froch exploited are the kind of weaknesses that cause KP to put people to sleep. Garcia has a different tempermant than McKracken. I don't think he would tell Pav to box to a finish. I think Robert would say, "Go knock 'im out!" And Kelly would do just that.

KP/AA would not be nearly as entertaining as most people think. It would be more of Pavlik putting on a clinic on how to beat a short guy with peek-a-boo defense.

 

Kelly has always paid sparring partners a minimum of $1200 per week plus expenses. Even though he is fairly generous, pays OK money, plus pays for top notch accommadations, he's always had trouble finding good sparring partners. At one point KP and Jack made a rule that sparring partners would not get paid unless they finished out their agreement. They still had guys walking out.
