I have no clue where this notion of Pavlik as a master technical boxer-puncher comes from. The guy is very slow, very wide, and anything but "technical." I'm not saying that Miranda is any of those things either, but this idea that these are two different kinds of fighters, or that Pavlik's going to "outbox" someone, seems completely out of nowhere.

Dude... Pavlik is going to outbox Edison Miranda. Pavlik knocked his last opponent (Zartuche) out with a straight punch and a short inside uppercut. Very technical punches. Master technical boxer-puncher he has not proven himself to be. More technical than Miranda he most definately is. They are most definately two different types of fighters. Even a blind man could see that. I don't know what fight clips you have been watching. They both have knocked out the bulk of their opponents but other than that from what I have seen they have very little in common. I stand by my words that not only is Pavlik going to outbox Miranda, he's going to knock him out. Very slow and very wide are exaggerations at best. Did anyone say that Pavlik was a master of anything on this thread? I don't remember reading it.
