He needs to defend his belt, clean up the division and prove himself over a period of time before he gets a top 10 p4p slot. Remember top 10 p4p is for ELITE boxers only who have PROVEN themselves TIME AND TIME AGAIN


We don't yet know how Pavlik would handle a slick boxer like Hopkins or a guy with blazing handspeed like Calzaghe, or an elusive impossible to hit guy like Spinks.

You may think he wins all those fights and he well might but he doesn't get a top 10 p4p slot UNTIL he does it.


Out of curiosity you guys who are saying he's top 10 p4p, when Buster Douglas shocked the world by KO'ing the indestructible Mike Tyson was he your p4p number 1 fighter in the world? Did he make the top 10?

How stupid you would have looked in his next fight and subsequent career collapse if you would have hailed him as one of boxings elite.

What about Tarver Ko'ing Jones, he should have definintely got top 3 p4p then seeing as Jones was number 1 p4p in the world at that time.


PERSPECTIVE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!
cotto could easliy be in the top ten, he hasnt really beaten that many people, hatton was a P4Per after he beat kostya....

pavlik is probably the P4P hardest hitter in boxing

pavlik handled taylor handspeed well...

Pavlik has a fast, sharp, and very powerful jab... very powerful left hook, has a good chin...

lets have perspective about this: taylor beat p4p hopkins twice, tied winky, and got ktfo, literally, against pavlik.... that means something...
