Comments Thread For: Kelly Pavlik Reflects on Andre Ward Fight Falling Through

[MDPopescu]

I thought Pavlik pulled out because he was having mini-seizures or something

... well... Pavlik is already dead by now... it's his ghost who is speaking...

... Ward would have gave him the....

... but he actually didn't give him anything...

This is post being exposed by an old Hopkins. Ward would've easily beat him taking advantage of huge weaknesses with movement.

Funny thing is Hopkins was 43 when he beat Kelly. He would go on to fight Pascal twice, winning the lineal LHW title. Fought Dawson twice, losing the lineal title. Beat Cloud, then Shumenov to unify the LHW division. Lost to Kovalev in another unification attempt. Retired at 51 after losing to Joe Smith.

He did as much from 43-51 as Ward did in his entire career.

What else but a comprehensive points victory for Ward?

Pavlik was strong, but Ward was smarter. He ain't no Jermain Taylor, no standing there and trading. Ward's greatest asset was nullifying his foe's strengths, and this is what he would have done to Kelly, too.

Ward would've wrecked him at any point in his career.

That would've been one of Ward's easiest fights

Always liked Kelly going back to the Friday Night Fights days, but I'm honestly not gonna miss that TERRIBLE ink he started sporting.

Pavlik was a one-dimensional fighter. Left jab, straight right hand. Ward would have defeated him the same way Hopkins did.

Poor old Jack Loew would say, "Double Left Jab"
