Kelly Pavlik Lines Up Marco Antonio Rubio

[Dorian]

Pavlik has a very strong chin idk understand these statements. The only time Pavlik has ever been really hurt was by Taylor in the 2nd round. Maybe by Miranda with the uppercuts in that one round.

Both are massive punchers and Pavlik got through it. He also took MASSIVE shots from both guys and walked through them



exactly. He's only been down twice i believe and that Zuniga KD was a clear flash KD

since when is taylor a massive puncher? taylor who hasn't ko'd anyone since 05 almost got Pavlik out of there in 2 rounds, that's why people say he has a "suspect" chin

Taylor really sat down on his punches against pavlik more than he has against anyone in a long while. He has power, but typically fights on the back foot a lot and was not forced to use it. He was forced to use it against pavlik to keep pavlik off of him. It did buy him some time though.

I am not sure why people are ragging on Rubio, who is a legit top 10-15 guy at middleweight. He is definitely a better opponent than Lockett.

I also wonder why people are trying to get Pavlik to jump weight classes to fight Calzaghe? Are you fools for real? He just won the freaking title and is still a work in progress. Let the ****ing guy build a foundation and gain experience for himself first.

seems that pavlik runs out of worthy opponents. rubio is a pushover. pavlik's punching power can only be matched by calzaghe. i hope the two will meet before joe's retirement.

It will be a good win for Pavlik. Abraham will be next and then Winky in early 09. Sounds like a descent list of fights. Before he moves up to SMW and dominates up there.
