Kelly Pavlik: "I Want The Williams-Martinez Winner Next"

[TheSurgeonMDMPH]

Haven't I pwned you enough for one day?

Williams obviously doesn't care about unifying at 54, or he'd have fought Martinez there. He wants to make a serious run at MW, and who do you think he's going to have to fight to do that?

U should probably avoid this guy from here on out!

This is the second thread where he exposes your lack of boxing intellect.

The first being the thread where he claimed that Burt Sugar thought Jack Dempsey was the greatest HW ever?:thinking1:

Thing is if Pavlic really had a staph infection in his hand than that's some serious ****. Have any of you ever had staph? If not treated properly it could get into your bloodstream and ****ing kill you. Williams hasn't shown any punching power at middleweight yet, so he could end up getting knocked out himself, so stop wasting time with the Pavlic is ducking. He offered to fight Williams Sept 19th, but William's and his camp refused, so shut the hell up.

[pigdestroyer]

is that... you want him next - before you drop out of yet another fight? what a ****ty position both him and pwill are in. pwill can't get fights and earns them and pavlik can talk his way into a fight and drop out of those he doesn't want.

why doesn't pwill come up in weight, fight hopkins?

[Pullcounter]

well, pwill still needs to fight pavlik for the MW title

Bert Sugar rates Jack Dempsey as the # 1 all time pound for pound heavyweight. Nat Fleischer rated him #4 on his all time heavyweight list. He also considered Dempsey the best infighter and best two handed hitter among all heavyweight champions. Charley Rose rated him # 3. Eric Jorgensen rates him #2. Cox's Corner rates him # 6.

Bert Sugar on boxing
The ring's resident raconteur talks about the state of the sport, his all-time heavyweights and this week's big fight.
By Allen Barra
When the last man on Earth claims the profession of "boxing writer," the name on the form will probably be Bert Sugar.

Sugar has done a few other things in his life -- he is credited by old editions of Books in Print with having written or co-written 83 books, mostly on sports, which once earned him the tag (courtesy Nik Cohn) "The Isaac Asimov of Athletics" -- and he currently writes a column for SportsBusiness Journal. But it's as editor of the Ring magazine, Boxing Illustrated and Bert Sugar's Fight Game that he has made a niche. When the HBO people do a boxing documentary, they call Bert Sugar and fill in the rest of the names later; when a boxing movie ("The Great White Hype" or "Play It to the Bone" or the De Niro version of "Night and the City") is being cast and they need a Bert Sugar type to appear in a fedora, chewing an unlit cigar, they call Jack Klugman -- and if he's not available they call Bert Sugar.

I wanted to do a piece on all the issues surrounding boxing today, and since it involved extensive conversation with Bert Sugar, and since there was virtually no one else who could or would discuss such things, I decided, what the hell, to simply interview ... Bert Sugar. I was asked in return only to mention his next book, "Total Boxing" (the boxing companion to the "Total Baseball" and "Total Football" giant volumes published by Sports Publishing). Begun with the late Phil Berger, "Total Boxing" will be available "after I finish it."

Give me your top five heavyweights of all time.

You mean the five best, or who would win if they fought?

What's your difference?

These guys have gotten huge. I don't think Lennox Lewis is nearly as good as Rocky Marciano, but there's no doubt in my mind that given a 50-pound weight advantage he could simply smother Rocky if they fought. He wouldn't hurt him, but he'd smother him.

OK, five best heavyweights, pound for pound.

Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis ...

The fact that he sent me red K over a debate with an immature message tells me all I k need to know about him lol.

[Dorian]

Kelly Who? yeah, i'm at that stage with him....

[Dynamite Kid]

Thanks for another moronic "translation". Just keep the **** inside.

People are entitled to say what they like when this guy is trying to squeeze more money out of fans fighting another dead body, meanwhile pulling out of competitive fights because he knows he will lose.

[millcitymauler]

Somehow the impact of Pavlik calling ANYBODY out at this time seems to ring a bit hollow.
