    Kelly Pavlik is the first really good American white boxer since Willie Pep retired.

    There have been a few decent ones like Quarry and Cooney (although none in my lifetime) but Kelly's the first bona fide top white boxer since Pep. There have been some world class white boxers in other countries such as Calzaghe, but none since Pep from the US.

    He's the only currently active American white fighter I like, because he's the only one that's really good. Pavlik is the real deal.

      The whole thing is nauseating and the sooner pavlik gets KTFO the better. Taylor shouldve finished the **** when he had the chance.

      oh and he is good but definately overrated. the way he fights is basic and he's hittable dont forget taylor and miranda both put him down/hurt him bad

      if he goes up to super mid he will get ktfo he's way too big for his division so thats inevitable. If Bernard is still around when he moves up he will school him.
      Maybe it's because he is a very good solid fighter who is exciting to watch. You sound like a punk racist *****!!!

      Did you even see that fight?

        Cmon dude, He knocked out both Miranda and Taylor. He got up from the Taylor fight pretty fast and didnt lose his legs like I thought he might.

        He is smarter than you think, His style may be conventional but he chooses his shots and counters very good. Plus he has great heart.

        The guy fights for the FANS Give him some credit.

          some of you need to chill , what have melanin levels gotta do with boxing skills ? "Until the colour of a mans skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes, then everywhere is war - Hailie Selassie " - as quoted in the Bob Marley classic ; )

            Arent you aware that he beat Taylor twice which proves that he is better?? Oh and BTW... what is so wrong with getting put down by quality fighters like Miranda (aside from Pavlik he is possibly the hardest hitter at MW) and Taylor??

            Are you just mad that the best fighters at 160 168 are not black??

              The people who think that some "Great White Hope" conspiracy is in action to over-hype this guy need to get a grip, wake up, and recognize that he is already fulfilled the challenge of becoming the Middleweight Champion of the World....there's no hope in that, only the reality of what already is. You don't have to love him or think he's the best ever, just understand that he isn't some wistful "hope" for anyone anymore.

              Hope:
              1. A wish or desire accompanied by confident expectation of its fulfillment.
              2. Something that is hoped for or desired: Success is our hope.
              3. One that is a source of or reason for hope: the team's only hope for victory.
              4. often Hope Christianity. The theological virtue defined as the desire and search for a future good, difficult but not impossible to attain with God's help.
              5. Archaic. Trust; confidence.

I just hate the fact that a fat bum is known more than the heavyweight champions. Like you have stated the heavyweight champion is the most prestigious title in boxing., not the most prestigious title in boxing but in the World of any sport.
