Kelly Pavlik

[boxing_pundit85]

What are your thoughts on how long this guy can compete at a high level with all the flush shots he takes. He has been drilled with flush shots his last two fights, and i think its going to start to take its toll. i am going to go out on limb and say that in 4 years he wont be an elite fighter, just not enough defense to preserve his body. On a positive note i love to watch him fight and think he has a great chance to tko taylor again.

[BmoreBrawler]

I think he has plenty of defense and will continue to improve as a fighter.

[MELLY-MEL...]

he is still only 25 and will improve, and i think, and hope he is around a long time and makes his career into hof quality! he will improve each fight!

[Allucard]

His defense isn't great but still alot better than some ww like Cotto. He's got enough power to not worry about it for now..

[Dorian]

He' s a great overall fighter

[Katz]

There is so much time for his improvement.

I think his head will be fine if your asking about that. Im more worried about Michael Katsidis. He needs to fix up his defenence a lot more than Pavlik. Anyways, Pavlik's defence isn't to bad.

[Gareth Ivanovic]

I hope he stays around for a while and with his height, length, heart, determination, work ethic and power I see him staying around for a while. Who really knows though it's boxing one punch could change it all.

yeah man, i think the biggest problem with kelly is that he gets a bit macho at times and wants to prove he can take shots,and than he gets floored once in a while. Taylor got him, and zuninga got him 2!

[Allucard]

He wasnt being macho when Taylor got him. He can't stick and move but he's got trmendous power. I've only seen 2 fights of Pavlik but he does need some more head and feet movement. The fact his power is working for him is perhaps preventing him of working on the other things. Tyson comes to mind... What you do when your shots dont hurt nomore is what defines your legacy.
