Why is Emmanule Steward in such a rush for Andy Lee to get KTFO by Pavlik?

[Lance Uppercut]

I haven't seen him fight yet, but there are a lot of boxing journalist who are calling him a future pound for pound champ.

Andy Lee is a beast, he has fast hands, he's a southpaw, he's got length and he's got tons of power.

Here are some clips for those of you who haven't seen him

He's got a good style to give anyone trouble and he's going to be a champion, there's no doubt in my mind whether it's at 160 or 168 he's going to make lots of noise.

Thanks for the clips Lyle first time I've seen him in action he damn sure has alot of potential.

Andy Lee is definitely IMO one of the right guys to beat Pavlik... I think he has better snap to his punch that Pavlik's average chin will not be able to handle, He's as tall as Pavlik, he's a far better tactician than Pavlik, and he is faster than Pavlik though he isn't a speed demon or anything.

While that maybe true Lee is very open to right hands which is Kelly Pavlik's best punch. And im not sure about Lee's punch resistance either, i think Lee has a lot of talent but there are still some unanswered questions about him, and until they are answered Pavlik KO's him at the moment.

[El Kabong]

Andy is ready for some bigger and better fighters....I don't think it will be too long before he does warrent a shot at Pavlik but I suppose that will happen at 168 after Taylor-Pavlik II and either the big money bout between the winner of Calzaghe-Hopkins or a Rubber Match...that will be Andy Lee's time so roughly a year or two away.

In the meantime he can fight up from the Brian Vera's of the world to hopefully a guy like Arthur Abraham or Winky Wright.


Lee is a southpaw, he's rangey, he's got a lot of pop, and he's got great handspeed....he also spars with Wladimir so I assume he can take a punch, he definently learned to hook off the jab very well as you can see in the second video I posted.

He does have to fight some top opposition before he is thrown in with Pavlik but in my opinion he's ready for guys like Abraham and Winky Wright already.

Brian Vera will be walked through, I don't see that fight going very long at all.

Eh? Already ready for Abraham and Winky, you say. How do you work this out? Lee has yet to fight anyone even remotely in their class. Put him in with someone like Zertuche or Elcock in two or three fights' time, perhaps, but stay well clear of the elite level for now.

As to why Steward is in such a hurry, dunno. Maybe the Kronk is in financial trouble again.

[donnydarkoIRL]

Well Andy was one of the worlds best amateurs a short number of years ago.
In the years since, he's been a principle sparring partner to Klitschko, Taylor, Cintron and many Kron k fighters.

Of all the current Kronk fighters Andy is the golden boy. It's well publicised he's living in Stewarts house andStewart spends hour upon hour training him.
Nothing would surprise me with Andy.

[Pugilistic]

andy lee looks like he can be big but putting him against pavlik at this stage is bad decision making. give him more experience against better opposition before having him face a beast like pavlik
