who thinks pavlik is overrated just a bit......

Yes... he got a good win which is being viewed as a hall of fame win against Miranda.

Miranda was overrated because he put a beat down on Allan Green, because Green fought a terrible fight against him.

That's my view.

I like Pavlik, I think he's being overrated a bit but I'll give him full props if he beats JT. Regardless of what people think, Taylor is the full truth at MW right now. If Kelly pulls it off, mark my words, I'll give dude a standing ovation at the bar, but personally I think he's going to lose and lose in a huge way.

It's the ****wagon hype.

Watch on the 29th what happens.

Not that I don't like him, I just see a lot of people on that bandwagon.

i think he is.......this fight against taylor would be his first legit victory in my eyes, miranda was the last one who has no defense at all, a good punch and a good chin but his lack of defense caused him the big L....it seems like all pavlik's TKO looks too simple......they are not JT caliner opp.
although pavlik is a strong fighter and the big word he is underestimated in the ring......

I really don't see how Pavlik is overrated. He's fought most of his career in almost total obscurity. Just because he finally landed the big fight, does not mean he is overrated. He earned it, the hard way.

edison miranda is more technically flawed then ricardo mayorga

Looked like either of the fighters could have been ko'd in the miranda/pavlik fight. Both were landing bombs

Good post.

People are more excited about Pavlik then they are proclaiming him GOAT.

He's heavy handed.. This is Boxing.

Fans love that.

This always happens with KO artists; one or two big KOs on Tv and you're an atg

Pavlik is good, he's got the extensive amateur career to back it up, he throws everything in the book, he can defend himself well when he remembers to; but sure he's gotten more than his fair share of hype.

But if I agree he's "a but overrated," that doesn't mean I don't think he can be a real MW champ, that's a different question.

I can agree with this as well. Pavlik may be overrated because he did it the hard way. Had to work his way into existence, so to speak. He's not a savior, by no means. He's ok. I can nor say I am certain Taylor will "own" him, but I do not believe he'll make Taylor look terrible is all.
