Even in the training pics his eyes look glazed and he looks so unfocused. Nothing like he used to look at all, I hope I'm bang wrong it's just shocking looking at that first pic I saw initially I struggled to recognise him for a few seconds.

Kelly Pavlik looks like the new Jackson Pollock. I hope he manages to line the canvas with something interesting.

"I want to fight him, but it probably won’t happen," Pavlik said. "Here’s a kid that went from fighting for $1.5 million in Atlantic City at the Boardwalk Hall in front of maybe 10,000 had he fought me, to fighting Martinez in the ballroom above that for $1 million less than he would’ve made. Paul Williams needs me after this fight. I don’t need Paul Williams. But I still want to fight him."

In my opinion Pavlik is full of sh!t. He cancels a fight with Williams and then takes another fight 2 weeks later? Yea right Kelly. And after being destroyed by BHOP you do need to fight someone the caliber of Williams, he doesn't need you. He makes it seem like PWill is the one who cancelled the fights and not him!

I 100% understand and respect what you say bout him fighting so soon after he pulled out of the fight with Williams because of some injury Pavlik had... We don't get the news here in he UK like you do in the USA. So i was confused when i heard Pavlik was fighting so soon after he pulled out of the fight with P Williams... but to mention the word "caliber" and P wailliams in the same sentence is a joke... Williams has spent his career killing him self to make a weight he should never be fighting @ purly to get an insanse reach advantage at.... he Called him self this avoided fighter when he was nothing more than boring and second rate.

I really hope Pavlik will fight Lucian Bute soon. That would be an awesome fight. And if he's able to win, maybe the winner of the SuperSix afterward?

This year has been one bad year for him. I hope he can bounce back next year.

My goodness, he really has in those photos. He looks much older than he actually is, very haggard looking. Hopefully, it's just the baldness, beard and rosey cheeks that's doing it. I like Pavlik and hope he's got his head screwed on right at last. He's a fun boxer to watch, but has lost it since Hopkins. Needs to bounce back with a bang and fight again as soon after. No point having time off and having things getting all messed up.

I feel sorry for him really.

It was only a year and a half ago, he was one of the biggest up and coming stars.

Ever since Hopkins though, that has all totally changed for the worse.

No one could of expected 2009 to go the way it did for Kelly, I do hope for him that 2010 will be his comeback. :)

Damn that looks bad.

Pavlik looks like a different person now.
