At what point does Booradleys obsession with Pavlik cross the line from simply being a fan, into becomming a severe mental disorder? He has to be getting close.
You usually dont get a rematch when from the starting bell to the last bell you get beaten from pillar to post.
Wht was wrong with Hopkins when he lost to Calzaghe? I would love to see a Pavlik rematch with Hopkins and Hopkins with Calzaghe.
Pavlik probably was just answering a question. I remember people jumping Jeff Lacy for saying he'd take a rematch against Calzaghe, when all he was doing was responding to a reporter. What's he supposed to say? Pavlik looked horrible not only against Hopkins, but his body doesn't gain weight well. He'll never be able to move up to 175, and he'd better pick his spots carefully at 168. His fans need a reality check: Be happy he's taking on a criticism-proof opponent at 160 and hope he wins.
Hopkins beat a sick and injured version of Pavlik that Zuniga, Miranda, and Taylor would have knocked out. That's reality. Deal with it. You're other choice is to claim Thomas Hausser is a liar who just makes up random bull****. I bet less than 1 out of 10 posters on ESB ever bothered to read Hausser's article. It's on Seconds Out, and the name of the article is Pavlik-Hopkins: Boxing is a cruel teacher. If you haven't read it, you have no clue what you are even talking about.
Im a fan of Pavlik but the sick excuses are bull****. Pavlik thought he would get the job done by coming forward and walking down a crafty veteran counter puncher and learned a serious lesson.
And here is yet another poster who did not bother with a small thing like facts. If this poster had done his research, he'd know better than to post the same kind of inane non sense so many other sub standard posters did.
Brad if you wanna say that Hopkins beat a sick Pavlik then that is reasonable but to say that a lower level gatekeeper like Bronco McKart would have beaten that version of Pavlik is just extreme.
if it does happen he needs to read this and change his style. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/2008/10/bernard-hopki-1.html Hopkins isnt getting younger so he may have a chance.
yeah and the way pavlik looked had nothing to do with hopkins..****ing idiot. a rematch would look no different.
