Now that Kelly Pavlik has built this huge momentum and has many 'brainwashed' fans thinking he will turn into a legend one day, all the great fighters are wanting to fight him. There has to be only one answer for all these elites calling out Kelly's name. They all see through the smoke and want to be the first to put him to bed. Hey, even I am kinda starting to beleive that Kelly may be an elite. He no doubt beat the crap out of my boy, excuses or not, Pantera got his ass beat. He than takes care of Jermain Taylor twice. Although I dont think too highly of JT, you cant take away the fact that he got two wins against Hopkins and stayed close with Winky. So Kelly beat the guy who accomplished quite a bit. Now I hear that Calzaghe, Hopkins, Tito, RJJ and others want to fight Kelly. Against him they would not make nealy enough as fighting each other, but this is the fight they want. The first to beat Pavlik will no doubt get huge credit. These guys see the opportunity for a big, possibly easy win and they all want it.
Tito will get demolished by Pavlik the guy hasn't won since 2004. But in general yea its a solid post obviously the elite see some flagrant *****s in this guys armour and now that he is a big name all the tops dogs are gunning for him much like Roy Jones and BHOP were gunning for Tito back in the day.
I would love to see Roy v Pavlik. I think Roy could have a good shot at beating him. Most here wouldn't, but Pavlik has very bad defence, and Roy would certainly have plenty of opportunity to open up against him.
Well yeh....most of those guys that are two weight classes above him could beat him. Thats not too surprising, is it people? The fact remains that he is the best at 160 and I think he should make his legacy there by cleaning it out. **** moving up, thats overrated these days and it will only get him a loss
These guys are a weight class or two above him, but that is where the real talent is. If Kelly was a small 160lber then it wouldnt make any sense for him to take these fights. But considering he not too long ago he was ready to move up to 168lbs (before the fight with Zertuche), I dont consider these guys out of his weight class. Yea, he could stay at 160 and beat some B talent fighters. Other then Abraham, I dont consider anyone else worthy of a title fight. Unless, of course, Winky comes down to make the fight. Soon enough he will need to take the step to 168lbs to really prove he is what many of you consider him to be, elite.
He should fight Calzaghe. I would guess it'd be an almost guaranteed loss for Pavlik, but it's a fight I'd like to see. He fought Taylor at 166. 2 extra pounds ain't ****. Joe Calzaghe is Pavlik's worst nightmare, though.
Only thing that would concern me if I were Cameron Dunkin, is that Kelly had a 166lbs limit for Taylor, but only weighed in at 164lbs. I gotta beleive that he still can make 160lbs with not too much trouble. Calzaghe is a huge SMW. In the ring I see a big difference between the two in weight.
