I heard that Kelly is having trouble making the 160 mark and is moving up to 168?
I hope this is not true. The middleweight is a little thin right now.
Any Pavlik fans know about this?

He's 6'3 I'm sure he's got the frame for it....can't wait til he gets a shot at someone legit I think he's going to be pretty tough
Pavlick is a name I've heard thrown around a few times but I've never seen him fight, is he any good?
What style is he, boxer, brawler, counterpuncher I know absolutely nothing about him, is he black or European?
Here is a link to some video of his recent win over Bronco McCart.Quote:

I am curious to see him step it up against a top 10 guy. Oh and he is from Youngstown OH, USA

Thanks for the link, he actually looks pretty much exactly as I thought. With a name like Pavlik I had him for Polish or something.
It's frustrating I can see the links but can't get them to play but at least I've got an image of him now.
Thanks bud
Just have to click on a pic and wait. If your on DSL is shouldn't take but a few seconds.
I think its my browsers. I got Mozilla with no scripts installed. plus I can't get the latest windows media player cos I got a cracked XP and the Kunts at Microsoft won't let you download it.Quote:

he actually has extremely good defense and footwork ..his nickname "the ghost" is cause he was so hard to hit and he slipped everything ,now that he turned pro he developed KO power and started KOing everyone so he fights a little bit more aggressive now and does get hit a little more but he is very capable of some very good defenseQuote:

I hope your right. Someone I know who is in the boxing world heard he is moving up immediately.
Eventually JT and Miranda will also (although Edison has said he wants to stay at middleweight forever, I don't see it being realistic. The guy walks around at 190!)
I'm hope your right to bro, I'd like to see him make some noise amoung the 160 pounders first.Quote:

Pavlik is no joke...but I don't think he's a world beater either. Anything can happen though. One never knows.
I'd love to see him fight Taylor...he'd lose. Pavlik I mean.
who do u know that said that? cause i dont think pavlik has ever even considered oving to 168 (but has fought at a 168 catch weight but still considered middleweight...so maybe that made someone assue it)Quote:

but No kelly is NOT moving anywhere at all till he wins his title at 160
Guess he'll retire at 160 than! ;DQuote:

I like Pavilk's chances better than Miranda's...Abraham is good but he has to prove he can take it as well as dish it out.
Miranda has been rocked before and it reminds me of Nigel Benn, great offense and no defense he has a good chin but it'll get worn with time and I think he'll burn out after a couple huge battles much like Benn was done after the first Eubank fight
Sturm is still there but obviously he has had a MAJOR setback
Duddy is flashy but unproven vs top fighters
All I'm saying is that to beat Jermain Taylor someone is going to have to have a GREAT night (and no jokes about crooked judges)
Hey...didja hear that one about the crooked judges?Quote:

;D
So Wacko might you be implying that Bernard Hopkins a cash cow for HBO for many years was just tossed aside for a "young unproven, mediocrely skilled" fighter?
By that rational Wacko the same thing would SURELY have happened to other champions on HBO.
OR
Younger "more skilled" fighters would be given the benefit of the doubt a lot more often ie DOMONICK GUINN, but alas he was outpointed by Sergei Lyakhovich someone who isn't flashy at all
Damn shame those theories the Taylor haters have are so EASILY proven false
