to bad he didn't knock your head off with a clean right hand:boxing:
That wasn't nice.
Pavlik and I are about the same size, though I outweigh him by about thirty-five (mostly) well distributed pounds.
I don't dislike Pavlik by any means. I went to his last fight and stood along the runway to cheer him on along with all the Youngstown natives who were there.
I just have a different assessment of his quality than some others on here.
KayJay doesn't like Pavlik much, thinks he is overrated. I would not be surprised at all if that turned out to be true but I'd rather see it with my own eyes, saying 'he would lose anyway' is not a valid excuse.
Calzaghe can only blame himself for the criticism, he made the statements on how he would fight Pavlik next and how Roy Jones is shot. Then he turned down Pavlik for Jones...
But Pavlik has enough business to handle against Abraham, Winky, Kessler and others, it's not like Pavlik vs Calzaghe is the only match to be made. No big deal to me. i wasnt too hot on the calzaghe fight either, the news just got so much reaction because people quickly turned joe into a mayweather. im not so sure what joe's personal prefrence is on the situation, but what his father said about Pavlik sealed the deal for me. his dad usually does the talking, and what he said definetly suggests they are afraid to take pavlik on
the fight i want to see is Pavlik-Abraham. I like both of those guys and it would be a great fight. Calzaghe match would also be entertaining, but unlike Joe, arthur has the punching power to make a difference in the turnaround of the fight at any given moment. of course we know that pavlik can do the same. Arthur has more one punch ko power than Pavlik though
ye but he also said that Pavlik is accused of ducking Kessler, who is now considering to move to light heavyweight division. If you read his other posts you'll see that kayjay dislikes Pavlik

What he means is that if people are accusing Calzaghe (LHW) of ducking Pavlik (MW), why not accuse Pavlik of ducking Cotto or Williams (WW's)... ye but he also said that Pavlik is ducking Kessler, who is now considering to move to light heavyweight division.

Cotto will never fight above 154, if he even does fight at 154. His body isn't suited to pack on a lot of weight and he's only 5'8. He would be pretty fat and slow.
Williams I give a much higher chance. He will probably move up to 154 soon and then who knows maybe 160. His body is like Tommy Hearn's, then he would add muslce. But then again Pavlik will probably be at 168 in a couple years. Williams could win just an activity it would be like a Calzaghe-Pavlik fight.

The difference is that a deal was in place and agreed to for Pavlik and Calzaghe to fight. Warren and Arum agreed to it and Calzaghe was the one who turned it down. Arum turns down all the fights for his fighters. Whether it's Pacquiao, Cotto, Pavlik or even Margarito if a fight got turned down it's because Arum turned it down and he always says the other guy wanted too much money even if that's not really true.
Pavlik would destroy both of them. They are too small.
I definitely know that I'd much rather see Pavlik fight Paul Williams than Marco Antonio Rubio or John Duddy.
Is he?
That's all for today, kids, got to run.
I guess this is a joke right?
Either way, at some point, Bob Arum is going to realize that he should just ante up and put on the fight with Winky Wright. He got caught. No biggie...just make the fight. If anything, this is the time to do it. Winky still gets respect, but he's been inactive for so long and is probably past his prime. Pavlik may have beaten him anyway, but he's almost guaranteed to beat him now.
If Pavlik can beat Winky and then Abraham in his next two fights that'd be amazing and great for the fans.
Pavlik would destroy both of them. They are too small.
But Williams is 6'1 or close to it. I don't know if he would destroy Williams but it's a big possibility.
I heard about Arum negotiating the fight with Williams, and that sounds retarded. I like Williams, but he doesn't stand a chance against Pavlik. He's good at welterweight because of his size advantage. His punches won't do shit to Pavlik, and his size advantage will be a lot smaller.
