LOLOLOLOLOLOL,. you're RIGHT. NOBODY not even Taylor or his trainer. Manny said in the post fight conference that Pavilk came back and won the round after being KD and controlled the pace of the fight leading to the KO.

The guy is a good fighter with excellent power but nothing I have seen suggests that there is anything more, I mean he has a very upright type style, doesn't have great hand or foot speed IMO and his defence is not the greatest I have ever seen.
Therefore why all the hype? Some of posts I have read have suggested that he is now a P4P top ten fighter, why? because he beat the man who beat man (an ageing version that is). Surely there are far better proven fighters who just don't currently hold a belt?
There has to be more than that, please put me straight because I must be missing something?

Wait, wait, wait... Kessler deserves to be ahead of Pavlik? Since when does a guy who just lost an 8-4 decision deserve to be ahead of a unified, lineal champion?

It is perfectly reasonable that when you beat the man, you become the man. I don't care if you had one pro fight...if you beat Bernard Hopkins in your 2nd fight, then you should be a top ten p4p fighter.
Pavlik coming from 'obscurity' is a questionable argument. p4p status should not be based on how well you are known...if that was the case, DLH would never number one every year.
Like I said, this is a fair system, because if Pavlik really doesn't 'deserve' the spot, then he will lose shortly.
