In honesty i'd pick Kessler to beat Pavlik and Lacy .. The Calzaghe win was more than impressive, Pavlik and Lacy have a punchers chance while Kessler can both box very well and punch like a monster.. This is honest facts, Jermaine was clipped by a great shot and TKO'd.. Lacy has again only a basic left hook and little else.. Kessler is a solid boxer puncher who is 3 times both men technically..
Sonicboom hate to break it to you but Pavlik is a b+ level fighter at BEST. He takes so many shots its untrue, and if Taylor wasnt such a limited fighter he would have got owned. Anyone who loses 5 out of 7 rounds to Taylor is not elite.
arm just because someone doesnt do the harlem shuffle around the ring dosn't make em a b level fighter it makes them conventional nowadays since roy jones it seems all you guys want is someone wh moonwalks his way to a decision whatever happen to this being a waarriors sport keep that feminine **** for dancing with the stars or better yet go put on a pair of speedos and say your wrestling
Really? Based on what? The fact that Lacy has been down once in his career and that was a stumble against Calzaghe rather than a true KD, or perhaps thw fact that Pavlik has been dropped by a nobody and almost KO'd by Taylor who is not even close to hitting like Lacy does. What exactly makes you think this is an easy Pavlik win? Lacy was battered by Calzaghe, but has KOd guys who had never even been dropped before and who were world champions. Pavlik is a good puncher at middleweight, but he does not hit as hard as Lacy or have as good a chin as Lacy.
Good post. Pavlik's chin is shaky at best. He was down from Taylor who couldnt punch through candyfloss. Lacy has REAL one-punch ko power the same as Pavlik. Pavlik stands there and takes shots. It's a no brainer really. I favour Lacy because of his better chin but both are gonna take a hell of a lot of shots.
A lot of people here do nothing but discredit Pavlik only to pump up Calzaghe. Calzaghe doesn't need any more pumping up, everybody can see that he's a great fighter. Jeff Lacy is still trying to get his confidence back and it might take a while, wait at least for the Manfredo fight before you make predictions. Pavlik will give Lacy problems if they fight because he's almost five inches taller and has a powerfull jab. Lacy will have to take a lot of punches to land his. According to you so called experts, Pavlik gets knocked out by everybody that Calzaghe ever fought. It's not that easy, you are ignoring Pavlik's strenghts. It seems a lot of people here hate it when a young man is doing his thing.
What the heck are you talking about? "Taylor who couldn't punch through candyfloss", that's nonsense. Ask his opponents if he can punch. Pavlik has a good chin otherwise he wouldn't have been standing after the Miranda fight and he himself said that Taylor hits like a mule. Lacy will take a lot more punches because he doesn't come in behind his jab.
WTF you are so stupid it hurts. It's too bad that Calzaghe has a bunch of delusional fans riding his bandwagon. Pavlik just KOed the two best middleweights in the world, who between them had touched the canvas a grand total of once before their fights with the Ghost. Who exactly has Lacy beat? Pavlik v Kessler - now that would be an interesting fight.
