          yeah, someone sold him on " you could be the first to knock out hopkins!!!! sign the fight, do it, do it, do it........ "


          and it was probably, "MR. double ****ing jab, right hand", aka jack loew.......

            well pavlik wanted to to fight calzaghe but joe would rather fight a shot jones jr so he opted to fight the guy who just got robbed vs calzaghe. i give pavlik credit for taking tough fights unlike some fighters....

              Yeah, they're probably not good observers of the game and miscalculated on just how "Shot" or past his prime Hopkins really is, after the Calzaghe fight. They probably thought, now is the time to take him, they thought wrong.

                Yeah, Kelly should be mad.

                If Pavlik had beaten Hopkins everyone would be crying that Hopkins was too old and Hopkins probably would have retired.

                Pavlik got beat up and got taught a lesson. I never really bought into Pavlik.

                I think a lot of people were on his nuts because he was a white American boxer.

                Pure and simple.

                  what was sad was, pavliks corner had NO ANSWER, all loew kept telling him was " double jab, right hand " , " look, all you have to do is throw lots of punches, thats how calzaghe did it "


                  i mean seriously??? this guy got trainer of the year???? i guess that award doesn't really mean much?? or does it???

                  double ****ing shot of whiskey, hoist up a beer, tequila shooter, and a jello shot, you got this kelly.........

                      if pavlik made 20 defenses against bums and recycled fighters you would buy into him right?
