Obviously my excellent commentary helps Pavlik a great deal, but what other factors play a part?
Multiple choice, public poll.

Paul Williams. If he were white would he get half the attention?Originally posted by texanballer View Post
It's more to do with Dawson being on Showtime. Being white can never bring an athlete more attention.Comment

Because he has power, and people like watching boxing fights where people knock each other out in.Comment

Pavlik is more entertaining, he knocked out the ex-HBO posterboy, and is the middleweight champ, which is one of boxings glamor divisions.
Its really that simple. If Dawson woops Tarver, im sure the hype train will start moving for him as well. and a boring decision wont do it.Comment

Pavlik is the undisputed Middleweight of the world....His wins over former undisputed champ Jermaine Taylor are more impressive than anything on Dawson's resume.
Dawson got a gift decision in his last fight against 40 year old Glen Johnson....Tons of people had Johnson winning that fight.
Pavlik >>>>>> DawsonLast edited by WLAD OWNS; 09-27-2008, 07:13 PM.Comment
