too have all of that talent...in your prime...and it is a WASTE when you dont use it. the guy fights for a living. having 1 fight a year and sometimes none doesnt really do much for your bank account....i would call that a waste....that doesnt take anything away from what he has accomplished. no one said that....way to miss the point knuckle head :good
You can blame his management for that. Universum wouldn't let him fight unless he extended his contract with them so he was on the shelf for over a year. You can add Sturm to the list - fought in June last year, similar problems with Universum, he currently weighs more than a cruiserweight and won't be fighting again until the Autumn.
Inactivity is only one way to waste a career. Pavlik's career is a waste now. Iceman, if your creating a how to guide you should include sticking with trainer that paves driveways for a living to your list.
