This was before Pavlik beat up a bum,

Given there's a thread questioning Pavlik being p4p much higher than Kessler, a poll like this has to really begger the question if it is really deserved.

There's another more recent poll showing Pavlik winning, despite most saying Kesslers the better boxer.

Only thing happened since is Pavlik beating Lockett, so why the big swing? I smell Hype votes!!

Thanks for finding this. You learn fast for a noob.

I guess the yanks are exposed here, putting too much emphasis on the beatdown of a mediocre opponent.

Yet we over hype Calzaghe for beating bums his whole career.

Sounds a bit rich coming from them...

This whole Calzaghe v Pavlik scenario is hilarious. It will be even more so on October 18th if it really happens.

My absolute favourite American attitude is "Kelly is just a young guy coming up, he shouldn't have to fight Joe".

I have no idea what happened to that whole "beating great fighters" thing.

Also Pavlik is their #1 guy right now. I cannot wait.

No...but Knocking out Taylor and Miranda sure looks good on your resume.

Don't get me wrong I like Kessler but who did he beat as noteworthy as those two names?

[Kris Silver]

I hope after Joe beats Pavlik, Kessler does.

As soon as I saw the new poll I remembered this one.

I think these poll results are insane and I've always said Pavlik would KTFO Kessler. I got ridiculed for saying too.

Now all of a sudden it's not so crazy though huh?

Yeah, the only fight worth a damn for Pavlik is Mikkel Kessler....

...wait a minute...

Keep in mind that in between this time we saw Joe's preformance against an ancient Hopkins.
Not only did he win an extremly controversial decision, but he was knocked down in the process.
Im not sure Joe could stand up to Pavlik's power.
And we know Kelly will keep coming no matter what, and Joe doesnt have the power to keep Kelly off him.
