One last thing concerning soft opponents, using Miranda as a comparison, Miranda fought only 9 fighters out of 28 that had winning records, with 4 of them being in his last 4 fights, with Pavlik having fought 20 out of 29 opponents with winning records.

Just an interesting comparison between 2 young middleweights that can punch and have potential.

Everyone should also realize that Pavlik is only 24 years old.
