Pavliks a very good fighter who's been promoted as an exceptional fighter. He's been called out by others because he's seen as low risk/high reward. Not entirely my view but quite a few fighters don't seem that impressed.
Only person that can beat Kelly Pavlik is himself ... he's only 25 and he hasn't hit his prime yet ... I think it'll be a while before he loses and he's going to be used as a marketing tool to bring boxing back to regular TV ... he's white, and he's american - from a blue collar background.
I think its because Kelley looks like any ordinary joe in the street, you just can't measure heart and desire by looking at a man.. Pavlik gives em a quick reminder once he puts a few touches on em..
Exactly. Look what happened to the scary looking muscle bound Jeff Lacey. Who wants to fight a guy built like that, everyone thinks? But the truth is, muscles don't mean squat in boxing. Its all about leaverage, & thats one thing Kelly has got on his punches. So when they look at that bird cage chest Kelly has, they think its gonna be easy. Keep thinking that way, opposition.
Easy Answer. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ And as long as Pavlik keeps winning he is going to make a ton of it in his career.
At the top levels, I'm sure these guys really believe they can go against anyone. If not, they may be in the wrong business.
He is good, but he's not ready for Calzaghe or Dawson. That's ridiculous. He needs to improve his footwork and boxing. He's getting to the point where he might need a new trainer. Pavlik is an intelligent guy, but he seems a bit stubborn, so I would recommend Freddy Roach.
They're calling him out because he seems very beatable. He seems to be easy to hit and not too fast. The problem they'll face is he can take a punch and give a good one back.
simple. to be the man you have to beat the man. Pavlik is the man between 175lbs and 160lbs even with Calzaghe and Hopkins and the rest. A white guy that can knock people means huge money.
True Pavlik is not ready for Calzaghe but Dawson? Dawson has a Glass Jaw and it would get shattered by Pavlik @ 168 or 175 it makes no difference.
Yeah me too, you will be wrong and I will right. Calzage would win near every round in a total shut out.
