What is with this site and Kelly Pavlik

[kingfrnk]

Sure he is a good fighter, with a solid punch, and an excellent workrate, but why is he the only guy who seems to be able to get any amount of hype, and still receive no criticism by fight fans, I don't get it. He isn't fast, he doesn't have a great chin, he's relatively easy to hit. He does have decent technique, but is it just the blue collar nature of boxing that makes him so appealing to so many of you? Is it because he is the "Great white hope"? I like him now, but I still don't find him particularly exciting because everything he does is ordinary. He has no flash, he doesn't have the timing Hagler did or the personality. I don't know how he earned all this love.

I also think there are guys around his weight category (Chad Dawson, Glen Johnson, Mikkel Kessler, Joe Calzaghe) who will school him, and even Bernard stands a good chance of beating Pavlik on Saturday night.

Two words come to mind: "results", "humility".

The guy's not a talker. He just beats whoever they put in front of him. Miranda was going to take his head off. He got KO'ed. Taylor was going to expose him. He got KO'ed. And he's humble, respectful, and grounded. With that he pretty much wins me over.

Bhop is talking big game to. could he end up like the others?
