Brian Kenny On ESPN Now Downgrading The Fight

[jrosales13]

Whitaker vs. Pavlik. Pernell was 5'5 1/2 and I'd pick Whitaker to U.D Pavlik. Of course, Pacquiao ain't no Whitaker.

Whitaker embarrasses and humiliates this version of Pavlike. Whitaker wins every single round

[stilltharow]

He keeps saying Pac's best weight is 130 or 140, also says Floyd was only off for 1 year, the guys finds a way to take away from Floyd anyway he can. He asked Raphel if this is a legitimate fight Dan said yes insisting the Cotto fight and Kenny is like well we will see.

hes a fool brian kenny!! he knws floyd is gonna win!

[Left Hook Tua]

Very true. Say Pacquiao stuck to his game plan, what then?

i mean if he can stick to a purely defensive , just try to win on points , don't take any risks , limit the action type gameplan he might be able to win.

but that's not pacquiao though.

that's like with jmm-floyd. yeah floyd can take him out but he doesn't because that's not how he fights.

[jrosales13]

Listen if Pac goes toe to toe with Pavlik, he would be KOd in no time.Im no over ratting or underrating anyone.

Im using Logic. 5'8 140 something 6'2 180 something.

Its not hard to hit Pac and when Pavlik does it will be lights out.

Mayweather has a better chance but id still favor pavlik.

But, I never said toe to toe bro. If it is a straight out brawl. Then yes Pavlik wins. But, what I am saying Roach would come with a good gameplan against Pavlik. And, if Pac sticks with the gameplan I think he will win. Pac would have to fight the perfect fight against Pavlik. Which I think he could do.

I don't see how you can favor Pavlik over Floyd? Mayweahter will not go toe to toe. He would be too smart, too slick, too fast, too good for Pavlik. I don't think this is the same Kelly Pavlik that knocked out Zertuche, Zuniga, Miranda, and Taylor. I honestly think Hopkins ruined him.

You are delusional. Yes fighters like Whitaker,Mayweather or anyone with a slick defense would give Pavlik trouble.(Go watch Bhop vs Pavlik) But at the same time your gonna have to generate some offense. What is a 5'5 whitaker gonna do offensively against Pavlik? The moment he leaves himslef open trying to land a punch its lights out.

Please be reasonable.

I am being reasonable... I just think you think to highly of this version of Pavlik. I think you still see him as the same guy that KO'd Miranda and Taylor. I don't think Pavlik wants to be a fighter anymore, I don't think he has the hunger in him anymore, I don't think he has the mentality of a fighter. Whitaker would dominate this version of Pavlik.

[mathed]

Yeah, he really doesn't like Floyd.

Neither would I if the guy was yapping at me like a little kid every time I tried to do my job. They are just questions and only require simple answers, not "I can do your job but you can't do mine!"

[Sweet Pea 50]

You don't think Pac has a chance against Kelly Pavlik? This is not the same Pavlik that KO'd Taylor....

C'mon man. Even though Pavlik maybe has declined some, you really think if Pavlik caught Manny flush, **** would be lights out? And Manny is no Pep, Pea, or Benitez, he does get hit.

No im thinking logically of a 6'2 170 lb fighter against a 5'5 140 lb fighter. I havent even looked at the reach difference.
