This is a surprising post! I never would have expected it from Hattonthehammer what with all the praise you usually give Pavlik. Are you still bitter Pavlik sent your countryman Gary Locket into retirement?Quote:

Great to see Pavlik back on track..Pavlik and Williams will go ahead next year and I can,t see Pavlik losing to Williams:p:rolleyes::lickish:
...yeah it's really hard to picture it when Kelly won't even fight the guyQuote:

What opponent would you give Kelly credit for fighting next year? Paul, Sergio, Sturm..?Quote:

Pavlik had a crappy 2009. No doubt about it. I'm willing to give him one more chance. If his next opponent is trash, I'll happily concede you are right.
I call him a punk because he had been on the right track fighting threats and then he (like Sturm and Abraham before the super6) just started fighting bums....Lockett, Epsino who the fuck are they???
Kelly got his ass whupped 1 time and he's been sulking about it ever since then....I think mentally he's shot, we've seen it before where a fighter loses once and they can't cope with it so they continue to look poor and lose fights....well Kelly is now on that path.
I think Williams could beat Kelly but I KNOW Martinez would
I agree with this post. I atempt to not be too hard on fighters sometimes coming off a loss but it's the way this one went down that bothered me... I mean, you look at guys like Cotto who has been fighting the best for years now even after he suffered setbacks... This whole fighting a hump 2 weeks after an original fightdate is bullshit. I think he was injured... I think the staff infection worsened it... I know he had multiple surgeries... But 14 days fixed all that? Sorry, I don't buy it. I think Kelly knew he wasn't 100% and decided to frustrate Williams with dates until he said, "fuck it!" I don't blame him... and instead we got a classic with 2 guys that WANT TO FIGHT THE BEST ALL THE TIME. Hell, I don't think ANYONE wants to fight either Martinez OR Williams after that hellacious affair!Quote:

Pavlik gave the fans a shitty PPV beating up a guy who lost to Manfredo 3 years ago... Well done, Kelly.
I agree, I think Martinez would beat Pavlik, and we may get the chance to see it, because I heard that there are already talks for the fight to happen in April. I guess HBO is pushing for it, because I think that they know that a fight between Pavlik and Williams will probably never happen. Williams wants 50% of the purse, because of everything that has happened, and no way will Pavlik and Top Rank agree to that. Plus, it's pretty obvious that HBO has taken to Martinez, and want to get him some more fights on their network.Quote:

Of course for me personally, the issue at the top of my list is the way he bitched out of the SIGNED contract he had with Sergio Mora. :mad:

Martinez is a beast! It's sad we're all just seeing it now(meaning as of Cintron through the fight with Williams)... He was a hidden tresure to people like myself... I'm sure there's gonna be alot of shit talkers on here that are gonna pop off at the mouth that they knew all about Sergio Martinez a long time ago... Whatever.. Fact is, I knew his name, his record and that's it... When he KNOCKED OUT CINTRON... He opened my eyes... Great boxer... great poise... loose... comfortable... solid boxer... Then came the Williams bout... FUCKING BEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO MATINEZ's career! God bless Martinez! He took a fight at a catch weight agaist a deamon of a fighter. Sad it's happened so late. I know he lost to Margarito but he is not the same fighter... Not at all... I've seen that fight. Martinez is the best natural jr middleweight in the world...:puncher:
