im not sure what youre quoting kellerman on here and which words are yours but im pretty sure youre taking what he said completely out of context with the express intent of trying to make him look bad.
he was talking about the PUBLIC'S perception of Pavlik, not his personal feelings. He went on to say that Pavlik was born different than us and he is an exceptional athlete... Kellerman spoke before the Zertuche fight about how completely ambidextrous Pavlik is and how abnormal a gift it is. Jack Loew would tell you that Pavlik is gifted if you asked him, maybe not in the 360 dunking a basketball sort of way, but in the born to be a fighter sort of way.
Kellerman is saying that the public doesent care about athleticism, they see a tough, down to earth white boy from a rust belt town, who lives in his parents tiny ass house and they identify with him, they dont bother looking any further to see what it is that makes him a great fighter, theyre just happy that he is and they see a small piece of themselves in him.
Kellermans knowledge of boxing, without a doubt, far exceeds yours. And i thought his commentary on Pavlik was well thought out and delivered, just cause you're putting words in his mouth doesent make him any worse at what he does
