Kelly pavlik's choice of opposition is disappointing. If it wasn't enough that today's Middleweight picture is relatively weak, we have a champion fighting someone from a division below instead of Abraham and Sturm... Iran Barkley on the other hand despite some people belittling his skills was more fortunate to be on the same era with some of the best middleweights ever... Nunn, Toney, McCallum, Olajide, Benn, Eubanks, Duran, Norris and Hearns... Barkley faced them all... Although he lost, his performnce against Duran was superb and courageous... It is just that there was no denying Duran's place in history that night...
I'd say Barkley punishes Pavlik on this one in a FOTY candidate...
