The glorious reign of middleweight champ Kelly Pavlik

[dans]

What do you call Ouma and Spinks at 160?

I call them "2 fighters better than Espino, Lockett, and Rubio".

I like Pavlik. And I really wish and hope that he lives up to his potential. There's just no arguing the fact that his title reign has been a disappointment so far.

Why are you dwelling on the past when he has a great fight and a great title defense coming up in 3 days? I would have understood you making this thread in December, but why now?

[MOTHER DUCKER]

So far perhaps.. like its been said injury played a part.. he changes that if he beats Martinez this weekend though.. cause Martinez is for me is a top operator right now.

He was fighting better righters than anyone he could have defended against... Taylor and Hopkins. Idk what's with the bitching. Ok maybe his 'title reign' hasnt been that impressive. So what? He has been entertaining me as a boxing fan because he consistently takes hard fights and challenges himself.

Ouma mustered a SD over Rubio at 154. I'd take Rubio at 160 over Ouma. Spinks? Well Spinks has been **** ever since Judah KO'd him at 147.

By the way, Lockett and Rubio were WBO and WBC mandatories. Pavlik did exactly what he was supposed to do with mandatories. He crushed them.

Hate on the Espino fight all you want. That's fair. But he was coming off 10 months that saw him battle staph, bursa, and an allergic reaction to antibiotics.

Now he's got a great fight with Martinez. Look to the future, stop letting the past get you down.

I call them "two former world champions"

Looking forward to it.

It's not Pavlik's fault that Abraham and Calzaghe ducked him.An offer was also made to Winky Wright, but Winky being Winky turned it down.Paul Williams also turned down a career high purse to fight "The Ghost".


boxing fans hate the fact that there is a working class white kid as a world champion and as soon as he slipped,they jumped right on him and kicked him while he was down.


Pavlik was the one who did the number on Miranda and Taylor.Nobody wanted to fight Miranda after he beat Abraham to a bloody pulp in his own backyard.It was up to Pavlik to show Abraham and Ward how to beat him.


Pavlik is going to going to knock Martinez out.

Your full of shhit.Kelly ducked Paul Williams twice with his my hand hurt excuses then when Paul Williams signed to fight Sergio Martinez all of a Pavlik sudden his hands felt better and Pavlik went on to fight a bum.

And Winky never ducked Pavlik.He always wanted to fight Pavlik but some how the fight did`nt happen.I`m not even sure if they ever negotiated.

thats really a terrible reign....he was great after beating miranda and taylor then look where he went...hopefully this martinez fight is a step in the right direction....

Martinez is a lame title defense?

Log out.

You should really read my post again. This time with your head out of your ass. I said I was rooting for Martinez and that Pavliks former title defences have been anything but impressive.
