Damn I like Kelly Pavlik
So, with Kostya Tszyu all but retired I have been looking for a new favourite fighter. I thought Hatton could have been a candidate personality-wise but aesthetically I'm not a fan of how he fights (too much infighting for me)
My favourite fighters were Tszyu and Tommy Hearns because they had one punch, concussive KO power with the right hand.
Pavlik is the same. I just had a youtube session and watched the 3 fights he had this year and he is a sensation. Pure power that lasts long into fights. He has the power to take you out at any time with any shot. Plus he seems like a top guy, like when Merchant asks him how he felt after Taylor knocked him down he says "I thought 'shit, it's gonna be a long night'"
I'm a big fan of the Ghost.
