Kelly Pavlik RULED

Pavlik was on a wreck for a short time. At his best, he was really something..

The loss to bernard affected him alot..

Pavlik was a very good fighter and the reason he lost to Hopkins so badly was largely the fact that it was at LHW when Pavlik was a MW. He should never have signed the fight. It was a stupid decision. Hopkins had grown into the weight and Pavlik thought he would walk through a LHW. Silly.

Pavliks other loss to Martinez was a close fight and the best win Martinez has. Pavlik had worked him out in the middle rounds, but got cut, and you sense that like with Hatton towards the end, his stamina simply wasn't there like it had been. That was the difference.

Pavlik lost heart and I was disappointed that he retired. Obviously he was quite troubled and changing trainers wasn't the answer as the problems with Pavlik were there in his hometown too.

Pavlik achieved a lot and did very well, but I just feel that he could have been a bit more.

He was the underdog against Miranda and obviously Taylor. So you could argue he overachieved. There are numerous examples of people handling the role of underdog much easier than favourite.
