This is what Andy Lee told me last night after his facile win over a substandard journeyman.He is fed up with easy fights and wants to step it up then challenge Pavlik at the end of 2008
Hilarious to think that Lee could be in with Pavlik with in the next 2/3 years. He has talent but his opposition so far have been a joke. The Irish guy he fought over here was bad even by our standards.
He said it has been difficult to find suitable opponents since he KOed Carl Daniels and that his last 4 fights have been a waste of timeas far as helping his development
if taylor could hit like lee, pavlik wouldnt have gone a full 2 rounds. Lee has often outboxed Taylor in sparring and still gets in work with Wlad. I take a green Lee over Pavlik at 160.
well If this fight were to happen I would pick Andy Lee to win just from off his tremendous talnt and ability he has, the only thing that will spark a red flag in my mind is andy's chin, because Lee may be more skilled of a fighter, but pavlik has that power still and I dont kno if Lee can handle on of those shots coming from pavlik. But if this fight were to happen Im rocking with Lee
So Lee wants to get knocked out I guess... Lee is a great prospect, but 2008 is still to early to challenge the top guys at 160.
Lee has done nothing to warrent being good enough for a title shot next year. I am a Lee fan but he needs to be put in with some decent opposition and moved up the ropes, whether on this side of the water or over stateside i do not mind but 6/7 more fights and then an eliminator at best. Put him in with Eastman and if he wins well then he deserves a pop at pavlik.
And how do you know this? Were you there? Or do you hear conviently leaked information to bluster a fighter like Andy Lee?
