    Shocked I tell you, just shocked. He does say Pavlik hits harder than Joe.

    Was he in the ring long enough against Pavlik to form a valid opinion? Is he saying Joe would take him out in less time? If Pavlik hits harder than a Joe who is at his 'walk around weight' at the moment, what would he have at 168?

    Lockett was there for the money only, there was no need to keep taking a knee. How often do you see a guy, overmatched or not, do that? Never mind 3 times in a couple of rounds.

    Becuase the idea of getting dropped on his ass was too much to bear, so every time it was close, he pull that bended knee crap.

    Don't forget Lockett trains with Calzaghe. He's hardly likely to **** Joe off by telling the truth that Pavlik would knock his block off.

    He probably wouldn't, but that is irrelevant.

    True enough. Did you catch the lines at the end of the article? Pavlik gave hims some nice walk away lines. We have come to expect nothing less from him though.

    It's a good insight to the kind of boxer he is. An honest grafter. Not the most naturally talented bloke in the world but can be effective. It kind of makes me think that he's got an edge lacking as well to be honest.

    Great is heavy praise indeed. He'd have to do quite a bit more for me to call him great.

    Really not sure what you mean here. He is not the same person in the ring. He is all business in there.

    He either had to take a knee or end up flat on his back. He ended up going to hospital after the fight. Always happens after a fighter gets Ko'd, but he had double vision.

    I give Lockett a lot of credit for continously getting up and he would have gotten up again, if Enzo didn't throw in the towel. It was the right move, before Lockett got really hurt.

    I think Enzo saw first hand, Kelly's power and said to Joe, fight Jones.

    Need to grow up mate, he seems anything but bitter. On the contary, he is very complimentary.
