I'm a recovered alcoholic with over 2 decades of sobriety behind me. Pavlik is knew to the business of recovery. It takes most people a lot longer than 3 1/2 months to realize how deeply alcohol affected them.
I read it differently. I thought he was trying to make sure no one takes anything away from Bernard & Sergio's wins over him by blaming alcohol. He said "it would be easy to say that, but it's just not true". I thought he was being classy and admitting that he lost those fights b/c they were the better man, not b/c of any problems he has outside the ring.
That's how I saw it. Hopefully Pavlik can come back and win some fights. he's an exciting fighter.
