Aside from is age, alcohol problems and inactivity. I believe he is going to have a lot of problems booking top fights. He pissed of to many promoters.
I don't think he's done, but he may never recapture his past glories. He's not too old to make some noise. But how much noise will depend on what weight division he ultimately ends up committing to. Obviously 168 would be easier to make consistently, but much more dangerous fights await him there. Although I do think he could beat some guys there, he wouldnt beat the top guys. At mw he stands a very good chance of getting big fights quickly and also ultimately getting to the top. It begins and ends with his committment to the sport.
He pissed off one promoter. His promoter, who just bought him a new house and relocated him into a better camp. I'm thinking he will do ok in this department.
Hes not washed up he was just in a binge a lot of his late career. Pavlik will finish the job an knock Martinez the **** out when they rematch. Martinez seems content calling out welters though so who the **** knows
People are raving about him beating up sparring partners. That all depends on if he's Boxing actual fighters, or guys who spar for a living, because there is a huge difference.
Can't tell right now, that's the easy answer. Less than 3 weeks before we see footage of him in an actual fight.
He is not washed up he just needs to work out hard which he was not doing for some time according to Jack Loew. Pavlik has been working out very hard by the looks of things. Pavlik will be back in the thick of things again once he beats Chavez jr which Bob Arum said is his plan. If he fights and beats Martinez it would be one of the biggest come back stories in sports in a long time. I think he can do it, I like his chances.
I think he can come back really strong at 160. But at 168 I think he will be too ordinary. Top 10 at best.
I think Pavs gettin a bag full of new tricks. He looks faster and lighter on his feet then in a long time. Hes going to be tough to bring down if he can keep his sobriety in check. He is lookin hard to hit
