    Shut up idiot. Go play in traffic. See this is the problem with some of you so called boxing fans. You go into hysteria over a victory and start talking out your ass. Both fighters fought a great fight showed grit and determination but Kelly was the better man. To now say that he will murder a atg shows that you dont know **** about boxing and matchups styles. Go watch the UFC or WWE and leave boxing to grown folks little boy

    i only read this forum right around fight time, so my question to the guys here: is the guy who wrote the first post serious or kidding. because i think it must be meant as a joke, but some are responding like he is serious

    I don't normally post on hate threads from Euros that have ***** envy with American fighters.

    Taylor fought the best Middleweight and at the time p4p top 5 guy Bhop. Then he fought another p4p figther in winky. The he fought one c+ fighter in ouma and one b+ fighter in spinks. The he fought a guy that is obviously one of the hardest hitting fighters currently in the game, Pavlik.


    These fights alone are better than anything that either Kessler or Calzaghe have ever done, period.


    The fact that Hopkins still beat Tarver shows that he still has some skill left and ability. I think he is past his retirement age, but even a past it hop is better than most fighters.

    What a surprise.

    Taylor loses, but instead of accepting he is a bit rubbish, they (Americanised persons) make excuses.

    Instead of admitting Taylor (and hence Hopkins and Wright) is not that good you are all going elevate Pavlik to god-like status, so you can keep your P4P list full of yanks.

    No. Taylor beat an over-40-year-old version of Hopkins by two disputed decisions. Why does that reflect poorly on Hopkins?

    :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

    What you're saying is that if you're fighting a good opponent and get caught, you're flawed???

    Calzahge had never been in a tough fight before eh???

    Europe are currently hyping two fighters. Calzaghe and Kessler around 160-175. Only two, because we have two. We don't overhype Carl Froch for example, because he isn't as good.

    America try and claim they have a dozen elite fighters. Old men like Hopkins and Wright, it is embarrassing for them.

    No, its not fact - you can't call a fight even if you know the results... Go back to the corn field, dumbass.

    Both would have finished him in the 2nd. You assume that Taylor hits as hard as both and with both being on another level in terms of poise and skill, what do you think would happen?

    If not for the broken nose and KD, Pavlik was on his way to finishing off Taylor early like I said he would.

    This bout puts a lot of things into perspective.

    I agree JC is a great fighter and IMO he would currently beat pavlik on points, but it is possible that pavlik could land soemthing big.

    I also think kessler is a very good fighter, but I feel JC beats him on decision.

    But there are many more people hyping Hatton than either of these guys IMO. We will see how he does vs PBF, so I disagree with you on the euro hype scene.

    I hope Hatton makes a good showing against floyd. However, I think floyd is just too good.

    Sorry but NO way in hell would Calzage had Pavlik hurt that early, he does not punch like JT. He is feather fisted
