I sure hope your right, that Trinidad gets to fight Pavlik. You must be a Tito fan??? Don't you remember what Winky did to him? Pitched a SHUTOUT! Pavlik would KO his sorry coming-out-of-retirement ass of his.
atsch So TAYLOR has a great jab good power and a very good right hand ! he is a very fast guy who beat an ALL TIME GREAT for the title and fought a good fight against a POUND for pounder ? So if this doesnt make him an elite fighter what does ?
I guess it depends what your criteria is, longevity, class of opponent (hopkins and wright notwithstanding), all round skill, heart etc etc, Im not saying Taylor is ****, I PERSONALLY dont think he is an ELITE fighter, but saying that, Im probably comparing him to other eras and not so much to todays, in todays comp, I suppose I could concede he is elite, or as I would put it, top tier.
Like I said before, this aint no hate thread, I had a bet on Pavlik winning for starters, love the way he fights, like I said in a reply to someone else, im probably comparing taylor too much to other generation fighters, but anyway, I also agree that kelly will improve, but at the moment I think that if you really used your boxing brain (something I think taylor lacks) you would outbox kelly
Ah, no!!! If anybody here at ESB were to use his or her brain they would NOT get in the ring with Kelly Pavlik. If anybody here did they would undoubtedly be maimed or killed probably in the first few seconds of the first round. Geez, these internet tough guys who probably never took a punch in anger.
Wow, I never thought I said he couldnt punch, or that I could beat him, or anyone else for that mattter
It seems that people are now under the impression that Kelly is just a power puncher. Can't anyone see that this guy can box also? Your not gonna outbox KP & like the above poster said, you'd have to be nuts getting in there with him. 90.625% KO's in 32 fights.:bbb
Daammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm a lot of Pavlik Hugger here man , this guy is now crowned the most overhyped fighter in ESB beating fighter like Kessler, Povetkin and a few others. They are compraing one lucky punch win against greats like Hagler and TRinidad give me a break. Just like any boxer that had the sile like tito, Pavlik, are always overated because of exiting stiles, not because of elite boxing skill.
