Pavlik beats a bum ...HE's the MAN!

[miamijohn]

C'mon man, look at Boxing from the fighters' perspective for a minute. It's nothing new for fighters taking a devastating loss to kind of start from scratch or take a tune up fight to see where they're at competitively and mentally. Plus both guys have already mentioned who they're looking for next, so what's the big deal? They're going to be fighting top quality opponents.

I look at that perspective every day.....i know its not new ,never claimed that. If you know your history is not new either, that aboxer jumps righr back into the lions den and revenges his lost rather than taken a chance with a tune up.... EXAMPLE: Roy Jones Jr. vs Glenn Johnson...LOL boy that didnt work out that well..... But lrt me guess the picked him because at that time he was known as a GREAT. Do you see now or you need more examples...

[miamijohn]

you were a amateur right? well, losing as a professional is
big deal, you can't just go to every big boxer and say "i want to fight you, lets go", tune ups give you confidence and gets you ready for the big fights. saying nothing comes from those tune ups is just ******.

Sparring gets you ready. Its the same quality of guy you sot in the tune up fights. If you lack confidence you dont belong in the ring. Are you that ****** or is your g-string too tight.

What's your point though...and who really cares? LOL you make it seem like we are never going to see Cotto or Pavlik in a big fight again. Both guys are top level fighters and will fight more big fights. I just don't see why you're wasting your Sunday ****ting on guys more than likely you'll be ****ting on anyway when their next fights are announced. Go have a drink LOL. Be happy both guys are fighting again.

sparing doesn't get you ready! IMO! sparring is just a small 3 round fight that does nothing but a get a fighter a little prepared for his next fight. You ARE NOT a professional boxer and you will NEVER be one, so you will not know what it is like to be a rich boxer, so you need to shut up, we all get it. but you, you are the only one that doesn't get it. You are hopeless.

Pavlik beats a bum that don't fight back. CAN someone say...HAN PICKED! COTTO AND PAVLIK GET MAD PROPS FROM FANS FOR THIS... A WASTE OF MONEY AND A INSULT TO THE SPORT....

Pavlik vs Gary Locket, Rubio
Cotto vs Gomez and he had a reason to fight Jeenings, I mean after the war him and Margarito had, I can't blame him. I do have a problem with Pavlik not facing Strum or AA

I m not hating on Cotto for the fight to much ,I mean it was for a Title. and yeah his lost was pretty brutal. So that decision cant be hated on. Pavlik on the other hand lost a UD to a 43 old legend. Not to brutal, he could of fought a better opponent. well... maybe not, he couldnt even get Rubio out of there.

For what it's worth, Rubio was Pavlik's WBC mandatory, right or wrong.

Wonder if they would've stripped him if he declined to fight him.

Correct. Mandatory, not Title fight.
