Lets not be too hard on Kelly Pavlik

[Darkstar]

he beat pavlik worse than tito and tarver imo

How? HE KNOCKED TITO OUT. He beat Tarver almost every round and KNOCKED him down. You really cant compare it.

He said that because Pavlik was white and they weren't. I spotted this guy as soon as he made that White Hype comment for what he is.

Don't mind him and his bias.

It's pretty funny how losers behind keyboards like us are disrespecting a guy who has tried to take on the big names. He gave up his physical superiority that made him lethal at 160 to fight a guy with vastly more experience. What's even better is that Pavlik has probably gained alot from getting his ass kicked tonight. Probably moreso than all of his well deserved victories. Hopkins walked straight up to him after the bit of shoving at the end and said that he shouldn't let this destroy him and that he will become a great fighter. I'd say he's more likely to know than any e-warriors. I've said many times that Pavlik had looked quite vunerable against Talor and that Taylor was the more skilled boxer, yet Pavlik has great heart and won his two bouts quite well. Hopkins was just too unpredictable for a straight up fighter like Pavlik and he needs to loosen up and learn some ring smarts.

Taking weight into consideration, the Tarver fight might be worse. I think Hops had more respect for Tarver though. He let go more against Pavlik than I've seen in years. He gave Taylor, Winky, Calzaghe, even ****ing Eastman more respect than he gave Pavlik.

i see what you're saying but with pav bhop was throwing combos, using a variety of punches i mean it was an absolute dominant performance.. i think hop had more respect for tarver's fighting ability and power

I believe I already addressed the Hype issue on post 19. Hype is not the right word.

I don't think Pavlik got exposed, I think everyone's perception of Pavlik got exposed. I picked B-Hop to win because although Kelly isn't one dimensional, someone like Hopkins who can neutralize punchers can make him one dimensional. I think Pavlik has a long and successful career at 160 ahead of him. Losing is a good thing.
