I like Pavlik beacause despite his very visable weaknesses he's still winning fight after fight. He's no Roy Jones but has other good weapons to overcome better skilled fighters (punch output, great pressure style, crisp jab and combos, determination, stamina). Hell, I'm leaning toward to Hopkins to win this one... maybe Abraham can beat him. Definitely Kessler and Calzaghe. But what if he does loses to them? NOTHING! He's such a nice guy who's very exciting to watch every single time. I find nothing to dislike in him. It's Loew I don't really like. He's arrogant (okay, maybe just to hype up fights), but I really don't like him. But he put together a very good style for Kelly. BTW, How you doin', Pantera?
I dont think he is ATG material, but he gets a lot of uneccersary slack on here. Mainly due to the avid fans who dont really know what they are on about.
I'm pretty sure you are seeing a 'real' Jack Lowe. He has earned his right to be "arrogant". I think he is just 'blatant' myself. How is his mouth any different than Joe and Enzo's other than I think Jack is more honest in what he says at least.
OP: You can say a lot about pavlik, but 'hype' is not one of those. Hype implies some sort of exageration; pavlik is not hype, he is real. His record speaks to that.
I bet you'd love him if he ate some fresh, Youngstown racoon roadkill...:deal Get lost. Maryranda ain't fighting tonight.
