I don't understand why Pavlik is taking this fight. What does he have to prove by beating someone 13 pounds lighter?Comment

He is proving that he takes challenges from any and everyone just like hagler when he beat hearns and other fighters smaller than him. Pav isn't the first or last to fight a man naturally smaller than him. He gets props from me depending how he wins.Comment
