Please guess the weight Pavlik would come in on the night, fighting at SMW

Making weight is not that easy for him, but he is determined to try for a while. See my earlier post. He has to work to stay at 160. His frame could easily put on some upper body weight. But, I can guess your reason for wanting to beleive what you posted. :yep

 

Well, the premise of the thread is a bit premature so just go ahead and 'waste' your vote. Trying to be nice here. The author has this idea the Pavlik wouldn't cut it at SM and is reaching new, ummm... whatever, to prove his point. This iteration of the theme is he doesn't weigh enough. I have little doubt, when Pavlik decides to move up, he will put on some more upper body muscle. He already has the work ethic to cut lots of weight, so he will be adequately built when he is ready. Of course, I seem to be the only person in the world that thinks a fight should be held AT the weight limit. Stupid me. What is the point of having limits if they aren't in effect at fight time?

 

There's more to life than Pavlik, Dawson, Calzaghe, Bute, Froch, Inkin and the lot from 160-175.

 

just read in the paper today that Bute came in at about 184 against Joppy, shoes and everything

 

Umm... this is the first that you mention Calzaghe, THIS YEAR or Locket. How did this suddenly become "The point"?

 

Pavlik is tall but not wide framed and what I would call 'big' - I think if he moves up weights he becomes less effective, for sure.

 

I think he just gets stronger. 8 pounds isn't much to move up for a guy that kills himself to make weight now.

 

Yes. I see the problem. Once again you assume your speculation is fact. You have the right to your opinion, but please, try and come across a little less like Boxing God claiming you KNOW what Kelly will be like at 168. The only way anybody knows is to wait and see. The whole premise of the thread is a vote will somehow reveal his ring weight if he moves to SMW is as stupid as it gets. But it is as good as the logic you have displayed in other posts. Now, YOU see the problem. I doubt it Mr. Boxing God.

 

I put 174
Pavlik doesnt gain much rehydrating from 160 so a few pounds not much maybe even 172
And Decebal what do you have against odd numbers?

 

You are 'well informed' by picking and choosing what you want to believe. We all have a bias. Ignoring it gets us in trouble though. There are sources on the internet about Kelly's weight. Not to hard to find. Check this one out. Eyewitness account. Beats VOTING on his weight.

Learn to use google. There are other accounts of his weight. He still has to watch between fights to not get too big. (Like reports of Miranda going to 200 pounds) Running a poll on this is as stupid as it gets when there is REAL information available. But, that runs counter to what you want to see. You post and people that already agree with you jump in the thread and you have what is called a self fulfilling prophecy.

Of course, I still seem to be the only one that thinks you should weigh in an hour or two before the fight. Guys fighting two weight classes above the weight limit is just rediculous.

You still can't see you are wearing blinders to make a case against Pavlik entering your beloved 168 range and possibly kicking the ass of some of your idols.
