Are you kidding me?
He knocks motha fakas out! That is what he does very well.
With the tools he has, it is enough to stop Taylor.
Maybe ill feel differently if he shines against some good names but as of now he has proved himself worthy of a title shot, but definately not worthy of being compared to Tommy Hearns. Whenever a guy has a hight KO ratio like Pavlik before getting caught up in the hype I look at who hes faced. Im pretty sure that most of the top 10 Middleweights would also have KOd 90% of the guys Pavlik fought. im not saying his power is overrated, but I am saying that he might not be an effecive puncher at this level. Power means less as the skill level goes up because there are boxers that can take your power away from you.
