Pavlik is actually doing well now for those in here who obviously don't know.

Jermain Taylor is a great fighter if he stayed clean even after the KO losses he would still be top 20 today

Yes, a few months ago I had linked an article here about his current weight lifting activity. Looks like that helped to give him some much needed direction.

there's some flat out disturbing video of kelly pavlik rapping with a crew of flunkies. just give syou an idea of how f#cked up his life is now. he's ****faced and surrounded by scrubs and rapping. probably mid day on a wednesday. the guy used to be the lineal middleweight champion of the world and made millions in purse every time he fought. he should still be doing great things. he's f#cking 35 years old! you don't have to win every fight, but pavlik had a chin and power and he could have been serviceable and on HBO or showtime making six or seven figured in a night.

What's so disturbing about him rapping?

I trained with Jermain Taylor and Dominic Guinn for about straight. Same gym and coach as Guinn. Jermain was always a humble nice guy and every time you seen him he was listening to country music. That's all he listened to lol

That's pretty cool, did you spar with them? I would of if I was there, I fought at 165 10 yrs ago. I would of been happy to mix it up with Jermain.

Lol no I was still novice like 11 yrs old and i fought at 123 132 for a good 3 years they were well on their way turning pro. I learned a lot by watching and listening to them. They use to let us take free shots at them with their hands behind their back. I did spar a guy by the name of Tyrone Easter he was a regular sparring partner for Guinn and he won the national championship in 2002 with teammate Andre Ward/Lamont Peterson/Karl Dargan/Andre Direll. Berto was also on that 2002 National Team but lost in the semis

It is like wiping your ass before you shít.

I like that one, might have to use it in the future.

he was a world champion and pulling in millions of dollars just a couple of years earlier. when you couple it with his well documented problems with alcohol it's a sad sight to see him clearly drunk and shouting nonsense in a basement.


wouldn't be a big issue if he was just another bum on the streets. but he's not. he was a talented, hard working boxer, a multimillionaire, and a world champion. it was disturbing seeing him turn into just another bum from youngstown.

B-Hop chewed both of these cats up, spit out the bones, and took their souls.
