    Pavlik hits like a truck,but he lacks the efficiency ,of a say Gerald McClellan,in his punching technique. Gerald had a similar build but was extremely well developed in his latissimus dorsi .The strength and elasticity of his back muscles allowed him to punch with far greater explosiveness IMHO.

      Just ****ty genetics it seems. Because if you watch him swing the sledge hammer and flip the tires, you can tell he's extremely strong.

        Pavlik has always looked like a stick whilst beating the jimjam out the top guys. Poppy used Lee Haney to train him making the jump, so now he looks like Tarzan and fights like Jane. His work rate just above a cadaver and judging by his last 5 fights, he's ripe for the taking.

        JCChavez didn't have a muscle showing in his body and did ok. Big George in his comeback. Joe Frazier, he looked like a butcher at Safeway. Duran never muscled up either.

        Maybe Poppy can surprise, but I doubt it. I understand Kelly didn't want the fight, but if he wants any chance at Calzaghe he had to make this fight, and he's definitely a pro in how he takes care of his business.

        Would've been a great fight if Poppy was 5 yrs younger, but the executioner gonna slip and fall under his bag-o-outdated tricks.

        My point was basically that Pavlik looks less fit at 170 than he did at 160. That would contrast with Arthur Abraham who looked better at 166 than he did at 160. Just an observation. I expect Pavlik to win handily.

          Pavlik is like the Fedor of middleweight boxing... he may not look like he's built to fight, but cot dam is looks deceiving.

              Kelly Pavlic looks like Al Bundy without a shirt on.

                    I predict Hopkins will Knock this kid out in the late rounds. He looks to be in great shape. If he had any problems I believe he fixed it in Training canmp. Its just the kinda guy he is...I predict a K.O Victory along with an announcement to retire.Feels like a Hopkins night, NIce build up too.
