his explaination of Pavlik's popularity
well it's more democratic, people think he achieved what he has because of hard work rather than being born different from the rest of us.
Pavlik is not that greatly gifted of athlete, ask Jack Loew, boxers arn't 50 mile sprint runners, they're not horses, they're men.
This guy is so far out there, the average man understands boxing, I dont think this man Max Kellerman does.
my rant, over
as well as my half drunk self can articulate.
thankyou
Max Kellerman is the most random and like you said, "out there" boxing analyst I have ever seen. I remember I was sitting there with my family for Morales/Pacquiao III and he would just come up with the weirdest shit, and we would be like what the hell is the guy talking about?
Max Kellerman: Morales and Pacquiao is like drinking tea on a sunday afternoon....or
Pavlik and Taylor is like getting a haircut for 7.99 plus tax.
wtf?

You have a great sig. Tito is my favorite fighter

im not sure what youre quoting kellerman on here and which words are yours but im pretty sure youre taking what he said completely out of context with the express intent of trying to make him look bad.
he was talking about the PUBLIC'S perception of Pavlik, not his personal feelings. He went on to say that Pavlik was born different than us and he is an exceptional athlete... Kellerman spoke before the Zertuche fight about how completely ambidextrous Pavlik is and how abnormal a gift it is. Jack Loew would tell you that Pavlik is gifted if you asked him, maybe not in the 360 dunking a basketball sort of way, but in the born to be a fighter sort of way.
Kellerman is saying that the public doesent care about athleticism, they see a tough, down to earth white boy from a rust belt town, who lives in his parents tiny ass house and they identify with him, they dont bother looking any further to see what it is that makes him a great fighter, theyre just happy that he is and they see a small piece of themselves in him.
Kellermans knowledge of boxing, without a doubt, far exceeds yours. And i thought his commentary on Pavlik was well thought out and delivered, just cause you're putting words in his mouth doesent make him any worse at what he does
I was going to metion that was not an exact quote without making reference word for word as to what he said on the Pavlik Taylor II promo (I should have in retrospect). It was close enough in my estimation. If you think my summary of what he said is off base with the actual quote it's possible I'm not remembering it correctly but to my knowledge that is what he said if in slightly different wording if not to the letter . It was just as out there, caught my attention, as I watching the Pavik Taylor promo video.
Kellerman is one of the best boxing analysts today! The explanation here is that many times smart people say things that the not so smart people misinterpret.

Pavlik is gifted, he got a beautiful mind for boxing.
That's true, but the way he articulated what he was saying, the point I think he was trying to make in the context he was making it just befudles me and doesn't match what you and I are agreeing on here.
He's not that bad as people say he is. I'm pretty sure he gave Quintana the 11th round too. He's cheerful and it helps make a fight more enjoyable. Hearing him that is. Looking at him and his bug eyes is....weird.

I dont think Kellerman can relate to the therm "hard work"
