    How good IS Pavlik?

    Heres what Im saying.
    We see Andy Lee get beat down, a young guy early in his career but he was being touted as the one to beat Pavlik.
    We see Duddy barely pull out a fight who was supposed to fight Pavlik
    We see Abraham tonight not looking so good until the KO

    Who the hell can beat Pavlik at this point? If you look around the division you get zip cause you know Pavlik will stomp them. So my question how good is Pavlik? Or is it just that no contenders out there in the division are as good at the moment?

      In your dreams. All Pavlik has is a right hand. Hagler was a mid-range and close range puncher, in both hands.

          Wow, I thought I've read it all. You might want to go stand outside with your helmet on and wait for that short yellow bus to arrive and pick you up.

              Pavlik was given a gift decision in the Taylor rematch so YES, there are DEFINITELY fighters who can beat Pavlik. He's a one-dimensional club slugger who was exposed by Taylor,but thanks to paid off judges and Mr. Arum was given a gift.

                I think that pavlik is definitely slowing down in terms of his hand speed. Watching some his fights prior to the miranda bout, pavlik seemed to have hand speed as a great asset. Post miranda, he seems to be a little more plodding, deliberate, and methodical. I think time will tell if this is to become a serious liability for him. But in all seriousness, how can a person rate pavlik above hagler? Hagler is an all time great at the weight class. Excuse me.....THE all time great at that weight.
