Is Kelly Pavlik the USA of Americas version of Ricky Hatton?

who was the miranda and taylor on hattons resume ?

i think kelly is kelly, and better then hatton p4p.so i would say know he is not usa version of hatton.

 

so i'll say it again.....

it's not fact if an independent magazine says this. you're not listening.

 

Dude just stole this comparison from the Setanta Boxing Special. Please give source/credit next time.

 

I think your forgetting that Jermain Taylor was a top 10 PfP fighter and you can't use a loss to prove he is good. Just because his only loss is to the best fighter doesn't make him second best. and he got dominated. I'm not talking about resumes, I am talking about a boxing skill and ability. Hatton just mauls and clubs his way to mostly unconvincing victories. Pavlik is twenty six and is about two or three more fights away from having a more substantial wins than Hatton.

None if matters anyways because Hatton is going to drop a decision to the feather-handed Magic Man.

 

Being a two weight champ now days is just a silk screen anyways. Moving up four pounds to beat the worst champ in another division means nothing. In the old days it used to be a sign of an outstanding fighter because they were moving from lightweight all the way to middle. Moving a couple of pounds up or down from junior welterweight to welterweight means nothing.

And i think this thread was taken in a different direction from the original question which was if pavlik is to america ad hatton is to UK in terms of posterboy/favorite countryman fighter. But it became a comparison between to fighters.

 

just use Paulie Calzaghe .. it's quicker

 

I like it

 

did you see tsyzu's face the next day? and you say he wasn't hurt during the fight? and in recent fight's he ko'd castillo and maussa and the only ud that could be considered controversial was collazo that's 1 fight in 44, and even that was a UD against a US fighter in the US. you're talking crap.

 

watch the fight again and then read the rules

 

Kelly pavlic is the new poster boy of American Boxing
Ricky Hatton is the current poster boy of British Boxing
Both are from working class background's and are very down to earth.
The Similarity is in their persona outside of the ring more than anything else.
They are the people's champions of their respective country's

 

Lol. Well if there was anyone as Good as Mayweather in the MW division then they would've KO'd Pavlik as well. But there is no one as good as him. If Pavlik came along in the early 90's he would've got KO'd by RJJ, Nigel Benn, James Toney, Michael Nunn, and Perhaps even B-Hop since then B-Hop was aggressive and even stopped Glen Johnson.

I'm from Ohio and can admit the above. It's just reality. And Taylor, although is a good fighter and nice guy is not on the level of anyone of the above fighters. No one is as good as Mayweather in the MWD atm, there are some prospects but none that I see at that level, yet.

 

Before the Pavlik fight everyone said Taylor was a overrated, limited fighter who fights like crap and wins only controversial decisions and really has 4 losses on his record. After the Pavlik fight he is an ATG at MW, and compared to the great MW'S of old.

People need to get it together. Taylor doesn't come close to the level of mayweather, if he did pavlik would not have faired well against him.

 

Bollocks.

Name me a UD that Hatton has that was controversial. Collazo was CLOSE - but not controversial.

I will avatar bet you for a year that Paulie won't beat Hatton. I am so certain of it.

 

Umm yea. Castillo KTFO Corrales in the rematch. Yes he didn't make weight that fight --but he still sparked him. And, yes yes yes he was suppose to fight in a last fight with Corrales, and failed to make weight again -- but he will always have the KO win. Convenient how you failed to mention that Castillo actually sparked him in the rematch worst in the 4th round.

Corrales is better than anyone that Pavlik has fought as of yet. Stop overhyping him. Let him unify the division and expand in his career. And lets see what he amounts to. He has time to grow, right now Hatton has the better resume.
