All I'm saying is that Pavlik hasn't improved in the defense and footwork departments. I actually think he has regressed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-WvTJGFj8U Is this Pavlik's fault or his trainer's fault? If it is his trainer's fault, he needs to get a new one to get to the next level. If it is not his fault, or if I am wrong about him not improving in these areas, then Loew is a fantastic trainer. Edit: It's possible I'm not getting the whole picture here. Lennox was impressed by Pavlik's defense. Perhaps it is better than ESB thinks it is.
Pavlik is so loyal to Loew that every time he talks about anything he says: We, our, etc., etc.....He VERY rarely says I. I have always been very impressed by that and it shows he has mad respect for everyone around him and would never only think of himself (he would never leave them behind).
His defense is okay. He picks off a lot of punches, but he also needs a lot of work. He shouldn't get rid of Jack Loew though - no way.
Umm--well--the next level is what? I mean hes the Middleweight CHampion of the World and He just knocked out the Champ to get it. I understand he may and does need some better footwork but his footwork he has got him the Champion belt so it cant be that bad.
next step is when he has to fight a true elite like joe calzaghe or mikkel kessler or even bernard hopkins.
he would eat up old ass bernard and as far as the 168 title--its only a matter of time before he goes there and takes it.
Calzaghe--here we go again----lets see him get by kessler first before you start throwing around pavlik predictions again. Didnt you learn your lesson after your last prediction? Wasnt taylor gonna whoop pavliks ass too huh?
:bbb didn't we hear the same thing with miranda and taylor? so when does he get the credit pavlik that is? when he beats them all ... that will happen and then what are you gonna say
