Kelly Pavlik the next "ROCKY MARCIANO??"

[yvonne]

Hi their folks!!I've watched loads of Kelly Pavlik fights through the years and began to see a resemblance of the great ROCKY MARCIANO in him.I mean he has the raw power like him,and he fights on the front foot too,he moves very similar to how the ROCK did by pushing forward and being heavy handed in both hands too.But what i do feel stands out the most on the subject of Pavlik being like MARCIANO is that he plants his feet exactly more or less just like Marciano did.Nice and flat and solid.Could he be the present Marciano of the middleweights?.....i think so.He has everthing in he's arsenal.

Does anyone see a resemblance too, or it just me?

As an all American hero yes, to retire undefeated no, eventually there's going to be some young prospect that will come out and beat him. Only time will tell.

From what I've seen, Marciano was a lot more explosive and he seemed to possess more one-punch power, where-as Pavlik is just steady and constantly throwing combos with bad intentions on every punch.

imo pavlik is being so over hyped its untruee he still just has wins over taylor (no great shakes himself imo) and a weight drained Miranda, fair enough say all this when he has cleaned out 160 or 168 but not now

yup very true

pavlik is much more mechanical in his approach

And if you wanna make the whole lifestyle comparisons i can name you a good dozen or so fighters of similar characteristics who were just as as succesful as pavlik.

ha yea a bit optimistic to start comparing him with Marciano.

He is only 26 yet though, and is seemingly developing as he goes. I wouldn't be too surprised to see his form change some with this process. I just feel he has that capacity.

See what happens after his next fight.

He also reminds me a little of Hagler. He has the power , the chin and he is huge. The sky is the limit.
