Pavliks's footwork?

I'd describe it as plodding.

 

Like a postmans.

 

What footwork???

 

Flat footed

 

Flat footed and slow. Not one of his major assets.

 

Efficient and effective.

It suits his style of fighting.

 

I do not think Kessler is tough enough (Mentally or Physically) to beat Pavlik.

 

He moves his feet better than Kessler moves his head.

 

In what way has he shown himself not to be physicaly tough enough?

Also you did not answer the question of the thread.

 

His footwork is very underestimated. He moves well enough to get out of the way, block, or roll with punches, but not too much that it affects his stamina.

 

Pavliks greased lightning on his feet...fastest middleweight of all time!

 

Pavlik's footwork is generally under-rated, but like his defense, it is not spectacular. However, I do like the way he calmy inches forward behind the jab, and how he moves side to side to make sure the opponent is nearly always smack in front of him.

 

Pavlik has footwork?

 

Not on the level of a great counterpuncher who's constantly on the move like Hopkins, but far superior to a stationary slugger like Abraham.
