Pavlik's fat footedness and lack of boxing skill makes Tito Trinindad look like Muhammad Aly.

He got figured out by a far better boxer and was made to look amateur. I think Calzaghe would have done the same thing to Pavlik.

what was wrong with Kelly Pavlik if anything??

** Simply put, Kelly had an off night against a HOFer who not only turned back the clock 5-10 yrs, but happened to have the best fight of his life.

You've got to go back to the Glen Johnson bout where Johnson is stepping up his competition for the first time to find an equivalent performance against a legit middleweight type, or at least the Joppy fight.

Reports were that Kelly didn't want the fight, nobody wants to fight Poppy anymore, but that the win was a formality to the Calzaghe superfight. Obviously team Kelly's been reading their press clippings and got too big for their britches.

Poppy'd been circling the drain for a number of years and coming off his disgraceful performance against Calzaghe. Not that much out there for him, but he's making more money since GB took him in than in the whole rest of his career, so someone will have to give him a beating to make him retire.

Roy and Joe would just as soon forget he ever existed. We saw what Dawson did to an in shape motivated Tarver, and I'd bet Glenn Johnson could really get his blood riled up for a rematch, so there it is.

Hopkins style was all wrong for Pavlik.

Hopkins kept himself moving and stayed out of pavliks punching range, which stopped Pavlik throwing punches, I also feel he became a bit gun shy because Hopkin shots were hurting him.

ummm... Bernard Hopkins?

Several things, one was the weight of 170, two B-Hop being B-Hop and taking you out of your game plan. I also think he just had a bad night, But he will be back at 160 where he should be fighting at.
