Kelly Pavlik got ink'd up!

[Dorian]

I still don't think Pavlik is 100% mentally.

It's certainly an issue of insecurity.

Tyson after Lewis
Hatton after Mayweather
Cotto after Margarito
Margarito after Mosley

now Pavilk after Hopkins and Martinez

[SN!PER]

Everytime a boxer catch a beating they seem to ink themselve or do something to their hair or face, Am expecting Paul Williams to come out with some Osama bin laden beard in his next outing very soon.

Or a huge afro!

All those fighters outside Margarito had tattoos before the losses.

Doesn't mean anything.

I'm no expert on tats and the pic makes it hard to judge accurately, but they don't look too bad for me. Decent artistry and juxtaposition at least. It's just shocking to see them all appear in such a short time. Really threw me for a loop.

As for its being a sign of insecurity, I don't want to sit here and armchair psychoanalyse Kelly's mental condition, but he definitely seems to be a bit troubled. In addition to his bouts of drinking, rehab, run-ins with the law etc I don't think that's too big an assumption to make. If it affects his fight I don't know. I hope not. Kelly's an exciting bloke whom I'd like to see back at the top of his game again.

For crying out loud, you all sound like a bunch of old women at their weekly bridge club card game. The tats don't mean a damn thing - Pavlik had ink before his title run, added to it when he was holding the belts and now has more. Who gives a rat's ass?

The Ghost is going to wreck Lopez tonight and go on to make noise at 168.

Is that a bridge or a.......

I don't recall Cotto having any tattoos.
Hatton got a much bigger one
Tyson got on on his face, that's pretty extreme don't you think?

[physiker]

I recall Tyson started getting tatted after getting out of the slammer.

But yeah who knows what i tmight mean. Q is how many people later regret it, and wish they didn't?

Painful, expensive process if you later want to change it.
