    Comments Thread For: Kelly Pavlik: Today's Middleweights Aren't as Big as in My Era

    Former middleweight champion Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik was in Las Vegas last month for the middleweight mega-fight between Canelo Alvarez and WBC/WBA/IBF/IBO world champion Gennady Golovkin. The fight was very entertaining and ended in a twelve round split draw at the T-Mobile Arena. Pavlik covered the fight for his new boxing podcast, 'The Punchline,' and was very respectful of both fighters but feels that this era of middleweights doesn't stack up with his era.

      This is the way the division should look. Fighters being closer to their fighting weight in between fights, not walking around at cruiserweight and draining down, then rehydrating 20+ pounds on fight night.

                                  Pavlik is right these guys are smaller than his era for sure, its weird how tall and big those middleweights were from the 2000s. "they all eventually moved up in weight.

                                  Today the middleweights are smaller framed guys blown up junior middles, five foot 9 to 10, walking around at 175 tops, back in pavliks day they were close to six foot and over and walked around well over 180s. Arthur abraham was the shortest but he was stocky with bigger bone structure than the guys today
