True I mean eubank in their first contest at 160 had the right idea.TFFP whats happened to JC have you jumped ship to froch now.
No. due to him not being centred around the North American boxing circuit. He could have been Columbian or Canadian, as long as he gravited towards those circles. As a result of him being based in Europe, he is viewed as lacking the required skills to be "elite", in some uninformed quarters.
Yeah but so did benn I mean taylor dropped pavlik in their first fight and i don't think taylor its as hard as benn did.
Anyone picking Pavlik is either insane or so bias it is untrue. Pavlik has been dropped several times by guys with nothing like Benns power, he was almost put away by an average puncher in Taylor and he is easy to hit. Benn was a monstrous puncher and fast as hell too. He bobbed and weaved with great effect and was very very aggressive. He also went in there with faster, bigger hitters than Pavlik like McClellan and came back from the brink to fire back and keep soaking up bit shots to give his own. He savaged the likes of Iran Barkley and fought at a level that Pavlik has not yet done. Pavlik has two high level names on his entire resume, Miranda and Taylor. It is way too early to even discuss this. If in 3 years time he is still unbeaten and has fought quality opposition then fine.
Benn survived 12 rounds with G-Man...wtf is Pavlik going to do lol? And I am a huge Pavlik fan but this is unrealistic. G-Man was 5x more deadly than Pavlik was and couldn't get him outta there.
