    I'm not saying his opposition was ****ty,I am saying that he should have performed better and more impressively especially aginst the smaller guys with no power like Ouma and Spinks. I realize that it is hard to look good agonst Hop and Winky, but I felt he didn't win one of the hopkins fights and was shocked at the way Winky was backing him down. All I am saying is that I don't beleive he can make those same mistakes against Pavlik and get away with it.
    Oh of course he cant.Anybody thats a volume puncher can put you in trouble.

      Why is Arum making Pavlik his poster boy? Is it because hes a marketable white fighter? Just seems a little odd that he should say this about pavlik all of a sudden.

          Jesus christ, does everybody here play the race card? Ever think it had something to do with his crowd pleasing style? Or his punching output? Or power? I can't imagine what would happen if I had said something like that about a black fighter.

            Well he's white...he dosent seems that marketable though. Personality wise.
            He has kind of a redneck vibe, no? Maybe thats popular with the kids though.

              Arum has/has had plenty of fighters that happen to be non-white with marketable styles. I never heard him mention getting them on cable.

              I wanst calling him a racist, I find it funny if anything.And race/nationality are definetly part of the sport of boxing...the marketing side, and this was a marketing decision, I was just pointing out that Arum is doing it kind of blatantly in this case.

                That could very well be the reason why he'd pick Pavlik, but over the years there's been dozens of marketable black and hispanic fighters who were on cable fighting and doing commercials.

                      I'm tired of Taylor really. With his sub par performance. I basically feel that he didn't do anything significant to draw with Wright, and beat Hopkins twice.
