Will he ever be recognized by EVERYONE not just die hard boxing fans or casual fans.. will he be recognized by the general public the way Ali was... Foreman, etc.. I think he has great potential to.. very good fighter, tremendous power, intelligent, a lot of knockouts, etc
depends on what happens the next time he steps up, defends his title against someone other then Gary Lockett.
Don't believe I've seen Gary fight before. Looked at the rankings and I see he's ranked #1 by the WBO. What do you know about this guy?
right now for kelly the sky is the limit, i just dont know if he would be joe calzaghae.but hell he can ran at 160 as long as he can make the weight.and he already beat two guys that are one of these best at 168 in miranda and taylor twice. **** kelly could rule 160 and then ko the same guys at 168, i thik kelly will be around for a while.i just dont know if he cant beat joe doe.
Considering hes fighting Gary Lockett who I never heard off,Marco Antonio Rubio who the only times ive seen he was brutally KOed in 10 secounds by Kofi Jantuah not that long ago and lost clearly to Kassim Ouma whos basically a gate keeper. After that hes lined up to face Arthur Abraham who outside hardcore fans noboddy knows. He wont get much love from the casual fans until he fights a name like Winky Wright if he whipped that ass fans all the casual fans would flock because everyone knows who Wright is hes fought everybody Mosley,Trinidad,Quartey,Hopkins,Vargas then hes went and appeared in many rap videos.
if he can add up another 10 impressive wins.... enormous hes white hes blue collar hes a knockout artist hes humble theres nothing not to like
i wish he was about 3 inches taller and a heavy weight, then that would be really something to talk about :good
Pavlik just signed a 2 year promotional gig with this company http://www.franchising.com/monitorclosely/press/6217/ This is the kind of stuff that will make him a cross over star, and then in turn, create more boxing fans. Boo
i wanna like Pavlik, after the first Taylor victory, all the ESB nuthuggers and their mythical match ups made me root against him. im slowly coming back around though.
i dont see him really making it as most so called "Cross-over stars" he will benefit from just being him which is a humble hard working boxer who isnt tremendously gifted but just works so hard he allows himself to outwork the other fighter everyone loves that type of athlete.... clean cut also
