you guys are underrating Shane and overrating Pavlik. Pavlik is not Winky or Forrest when it comes to boxing skills and there is no way that Shane would fight Pavlik the same way he fought the other 2. He tried to bring the fight to those 2 guys while he would try to box Pavlik. Taylor is maybe the most uncoordinated fighter in boxing and he was an inch away from having Pavlik out in there 1st fight and alot of people thought he out boxed Pavlik in the rematch. Hopkins skooled him and he looked like crap in his last fight. He's nearly as slow as Margarito. This is not a one sided mismatch in any way. Shane has always been very strong and he can take a good shot. Height doesnt have much to do with anything in this fight because Pavlik is so much slower and Shane will be boxing.
If anything I think Pavlik's height allows Shane to work his body easier which will slow him down later in the fight. Everyone keeps talking about the weight but Shane doesnt have to put on weight. He could weigh-in at 154 like he's done a ton and come into the ring at 160. Dont tell me that Shane couldnt make Pavlik walk into some shots like Margarito and then get out of dodge. Im not saying he wins and he may even get killed but dont act like this is automatic like Shane is a bum and Pavlik is a legend. Thats not the case at all
