Congrats Kelly, I betted against you but u pulled through but one thing is for sure.... Kelly Pavlik can be out-box and if he fight Taylor again, he is going to outbox him (althought the fight will be close agin) because well of his explosiveness. The thing about Pavlik is that he's a accumilation puncher so anyone thaT can avoid prolong damage will beat him. I had Taylor up by the time of his TKO AND the fact that Taylor wasn't give a 8-count and Kelly was is still mind-boggling (more on that later). Please keep Pavlik away from Abraham (who will outbox him), Hopkins (he would neutralized Pavlik power AND Bhop has a beard), Sturm (who would outbox him), Calgazhe (who would outbox and outwork him) and Kessler (who would MURDER HIM!!!!).....Taylor ( I see him winning the rematch). Pavlik last 4 fight, his TKO have come when his opponent are against the ropes, the guys I mention above will stay away from the ropes and Pavlik hit them and they don't go anywhere.....he is done because they will outbox him. PAvlik will only be able to beat the John Duddys of the world....and I've been saying all along that Andy Lee and Lorenzo pure boxers with speed and actual power as well will KO Pavlik. Pavlik chin is suspect (he's been tagged by Berbuch, Zuniga, and McKart) for being taken down by journeymen so Lee and Lorenzo will **** him. Pavlik has average long jab (which Taylor was slipping in the beginning)..and his right cross . Taylor is an idiot because the one thing that he should have done is hold and survive but he didn't do it. I still would have given him a standing 8-count because .. a) he's the champ, benefit of doubt b) Pavlik got one. If Pavlik get by Taylor in the rematch (which I don't think he will)...Arum will put him in with the John Duddy of the world. BHop Winky Abraham Taylor Sturm Calzaghe KESSLER Lee Lorenzo Those guys will outbox Pavlik!!!!
Yes I said Sturm and Taylor was winning that fight prior to the stoppage. Are u saying that Pavlik would outbox these guys....I think not!!!
Lol, a little bitter for betting against Pavlik? I bet you were so sure Taylor was going to beat Pavlik as well, just like this list will!
I would favor CaLZ AND kESSLER, but not the other guys. Dawson may beat him but those are all bigger fighters. I would think he could beat Sturm, Abraham and Winky. Hopkins may win but it would have to be at 170 or above. Hey that would be pretty cool if they met at 170. Pavlik would have a pretty good shot.
Pavlik fought a good fight but he is a limited guy. He won't be champion for long. I'm no Taylor fan btw, can't stand his personality.
Kolya ...I have to disagree with you....they might outbox him but the question is can they stand to his power, sooner of later the retlentless Pavlik could connect a powerful right and that be light outs....anyboxer can be outboxed...but they all can be KO also...never underestimate power
I didnt' say they would outbox him, bro. The thread started did. I honestly think Pavlik could break down and beat most those guys.
