Team Pavlik "Irritated" by Hopkins

[slicksouthpaw16]

This is a risky fight for Pavlik and he shouldn't take it. He has everything to lose becuase if he were to beat Hopkins by another close decision( which is most likely going to be the case) then people will just tell him to jump in the club along with Taylor and Calzaghe, who also did that. If he loss, then he would really get bashed by the media and give Calzaghe a reason to not fight him. The only way he would gain anything is if he was to do something that has never been done before, which is to blow Hopkins out.

Personally I think Jack Loew needs to learn how to keep his mouth shut. It's not like this guy is some boxing wizard, he's had one good fighter his entire lifetime.

I like Pavlik but he should really tell his trainer to stick to training and stop popping off. If someone wants to criticize and talk **** it should be the fighters themselves because ultimately they are the ones who have to get in the ring.

yes

they're still talking about that comment? That was pre-calzaghe fight in 2007. Get with the times

and yes.

I really wish Jack would stop speaking o/b/o Pavlik, because all he's doing is using his fighters name to have his own opinions heard. Kelly already has the best manager in the game in Cameron Dunkin, who knows when to talk, and when to sit back and let his fighter take command of the stage.

Jack needs to follow Cam's lead and just stick to his day job already. Though in fairness, he's not the only trainer talking more than he needs to, not by a long shot
