    Nah, we'll stick with pulling a Lacy for now. If Pavlik degenerates into a beaten husk of a fighter life Lacy did because of a single loss, then I will agree that it should be changed to pulling a "PavLacy."

    That's a douchey comment.

    Are you saying you expected Taylor to beat Hopkins?
    Or Pavlik to beat Taylor?

    Boxing is about the unpredictable. Not guessing an outcome doesn't mean you don't know anything about the sport. It's what makes boxing exciting.

    No I always expected Hopkins to beat Pavlik by such a wige margin ever since the fight was announced based on expereince ..I just never bought into the fans hype nor the media ..But I don't want to act like a know it all if it came off that way my bad ..I have followed boxing for years ..When Kelly fought Miranda I said the same thing because I hated the way Miranda fought ..I just happened to be right in the instance doesn't mean im always right but wasn't surprised by the result .
