First -- that's a great avatar.
Second -- very fair and balanced post. Personally I think that if KP wants to stay at 160, and be remembered as a great middleweight champion, he needs to forget about chasing money and super-fights. He just needs to say "**** it" and spend 12 - 18 months clearing the deck. There is not one fighter in the top 10 at 160 that can go 12 rounds with KP, and let's face it, Pavlik built his reputation by leaving guys slumped on the canvass, not by fighting in "super-fights." I truly beleive that if he would just settle his ass down, and clear out the division of every possible challenger, the money and star-power would just happen natuarally.

But apart from those that don't like Pavlik and used those comments as an excuse to bash him, you've seen a lot more bashing from guys that actually like Kelly in this thread.

I like Pavlik and I'm not going to suddenly bash him for losing to Hopkins, accuse him for not taking the Abraham fight (like he's the only one to blame for that fight not happening), or talk **** about him cause he sounded frustrated and bitter in the interviews after the Hopkins fight.

But this tournament is great for boxing and you just can't start ranting about peanuts, Showtime, HBO and paydays, trying to make the tourney sound unimportant, just cause you don't participate in it. Kelly needs to stop commenting on other fighters and boxing events, and work harder, to raise his level, give the fans interesting fights, and prove he doesn't deserve the bashing that came after his first and only loss.
