Same shit happened with Miranda nuthuggers.
Yeah seriously, I am glad someone finally said it. I mean, what is with all the hype about this guy? So what if he is young, undefeated, and has lots of knockouts in some exciting fights? Who cares about a blue-collar fighter that works harder in the ring than at a press conference?
I think we can all agree that this guy would be more important if he was from another country than America, someone who spoke very little english and weighed 105 lbs. Especially when the middleweight division already has such a must-see, all action, dominant champion. Duh!!!
Pavlik is a waste of my time and EVERY TRUE BOXING FAN MUST AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anything else is just retarded.
What boxing really needs right now is more boxers that focus on making sure their robes represent hip-hop to the fullest and "them ringwalks be da illest eva. I want to see more spoiled brats that piss all over the truly great fighters of the past, only to then throw 14 punches per round in a mega-fight. I want to hear more fighters who will call themselves the greatest and fight a worthy opponent once every five years. I want to see more boxers save their best moments for negotiating their contracts with HBO, getting 10 billion dollars for six fights against four cab drivers, one high school physical education teacher, and a drug addict pulled from behind the dumpster over at K.F.C.
Unless you have some really clever trash talk for then next five years, or you are at least willing to send some "shout-outs" to the guys stealing little, old ladies purses in your neighborhood, I don't care about you Pavlik. Fo' real.
what we don't like is to come on here and see polls asking if Pavlik would knock out light heavyweights and if he's the best middleweight in the world based on one win. those are not legitimate questions and he has done nothing to warrant that kind of publicity. he got a great KO win over a guy with no defense. the same guy Abraham was able to beat WITH A BROKEN JAW. I thought the world had gone insane when everyone hyped Miranda up for knocking out Eastman on Friday night fights (which remains his best and maybe only good win). so now Pavlik is being hyped up for beating the overrated guy. are we that deprived of superstars that we have to resort to this nonsense? if you're a fan, fine. don't sit there and say he's some amazing fighter until he gets a strong win on his resume. you're all talking nonsense about how he is better than Taylor although Taylor has beaten Hopkins twice and drawn with Wright.
yes, diego. boxing is THAT deprived of superstars.
i jumped on the bandwagon after his destruction of zertuche and im one of the few who have said that he'll beat miranda.
so ive been a fan for about 4 months now.

pavik kos a prime lennox lewis you heard it here first! hes the best ever!
if u hoestly beleave that its kinda sad.......how long have u been watching boxing?
pavik kos a prime lennox lewis you heard it here first! hes the best ever!
No. My nine year old sister said that on Saturday, she's an expert on the sweet science and agrees that Pavlik KO's Lewis within 4 rounds.
I dont see what you are complaining about. We all got on his side that is what you want. The lternitive is that we say oh well who cares if he beat miranda. It must have been a fluke. I dont understand what ur complaining about
You guys are silly. What do you expect us to do, pledge allegiance to fighters? I take my hat off to a great performance, and criticize a poor one. There's no sense in being a 'fan' of a particular guy. I'm a fan of a good fight. That's a much more sophisticated mentality and it has nothing to do with "bandwagon jumping."
dude, you fought Clinton Woods? that must feel pretty awesome seeing where he is now, lol.

He has more fans now because he's more mainstream and I like him because he shut the loud mouth up. He bullied the bully!:rofl:
i dont like him but i m sure thats a good reason to like a boxer, become a fan a fan of his, he dethroned the so called giant as an underdog

Shameful how u boxing fans only claim a fighter when he winsLet the bandwagon fans celebrate. theyll be off the when he loses, and back on it in victory. What a shame,
He has rightfully earned his new fans. When you put on two exciting impressive performances in a row on free TV it is inevitable that you are going to gain a lot of repect from people. Most people hadn't really seen him before the Zertuche fight.
I watched the Miranda-Pavlik fight today, must say i dont think Pavlik is the future of the Middleweight division, and nor is miranda.
Miranda's defence is bad, really bad, can't defend straight rights, Jabs, rights to the body (based on this fight)
Pavlik fought good tactics to begin with, Miranda was shocked when Pavlik came out at the bell to press him back with shots, he obviously was exepecting to be the agressor and didnt have a plan B, Pavlik was right Miranda cant be as effective going backwards.
Lennox Lewis called it spot on (again), he said before the fight if pavlik threw straight shots and backed him up, he could win the fight, his straight right was his best punch.
Pavlik defended quite well, i think he traded a little too much towards the end (something else lewis said he shouldnt have done) when he should have taken distance and fired rights to the body, Miranda was still live for most of the fight and hit pavlik with some bombs throughout the fight.
Miranda didnt get 'killed', he always had a punchers chance, round 2 he had pavlik hurt bad, and in other round he clearly hurt pavlik with right hooks and right hands, at one stage he landed 3 straight in a row.
So yeah, was great to watch if you like a scrap, little actual technique, although pavlik did begin to pick his shots a little more and does have skills.
