Over the course of this year I've seen Pavlik destroy 3 fighters with good to great chins and all with the right right hand. Pavlik's KO of the tough Zertuche was frightening. He follows up this display of carnage by using this money punch to crush the strong Edison Miranda and batter him into submission. Now he uses the right hand to ascend to the top of the boxing ladder when he landed it flush against Jermaine Taylor's jaw.
I was initially skeptical of the power of his right cross, so is it safe to officially say Pavlik's right hand has now become one of the "vaunted" punches in boxing? Is it now safe to annoint it in the same hallowed classes as Tszyu's right hand and Oscar's left hook? Will there now be talk of Pavlik's straight right??
