How Good Is Kelly Pavlik Really?

Those videos are years old at this point.

Who knows what he will really look like when, or if he ever fights another top fighter again.

Live in the now.

 

He is good but not as good as AA.

 

Hes a heavy handed, durable, but limited fighter....

 

The question should be how good he will be when he returns. Because we already know he was the BEST middleweight out. He didn't look good at 170 vs Hop, but I don't think any middleweight would who had never been at the weight before. The man was ripping through the middleweight division on his run through the ranks. If he can come back to old form and hopefully make improvements he'll still be the best middleweight.

 

He is the best best fighter in the world at 160. He will attempt to validate that tstarting December now that his slate is clean

 

Sure....atsch

 

For sure man :good

Pavlik is still my favorite fighter, and I don't care that he isn't the best ever... he is a warrior and I love watching him fight

 

He's a great banger with very good stamina and chin. He took everything Miranda could dish out and proceeded to knock him out. Miranda hits VERY hard, just ask AA's mandible.


So he lost once to an extremely cagey, savvy ATG with lots of tricks up his sleeve. As did other great fighters such as Tito, DLH, and Wright. I don't think Pavlik deserves to be written off on just that one loss.


His recent choice of opponents. . .well, thats another matter.

 

It's pretty obvious how good he is and its been obvious since day 1 IMO.

What you see is what you get, not a whole to to confuse. Not many special effects, not many 'wow' moments, he's a very solid fighter. Good left jab, good physique for the weight, heavy hands, good work-rate and stamina, good toughness.

His weaknesses...well they speak for themselves. I think we all know by now.

 

his pop will always be a threat though. his power changes fights instantly

 

pavlik is clumsy as ****. his style is so easy 2 expose. slow all around fighter. he is an average fighter. he really needs 2 learn 2 move better. he fights like an amatuer fights. go foward jab and learn rights. slow punchs. hop exposed pav as a one d fighter.

 

this.

 

He is rusty now.
