Lockett has only a puncher's chance, but it's still a chance. I really don't think that Pavlik is that great, and he will be found out over the next two years. He is being overrated by too many people.

I've been watching Pavlik for a little while now and I am now thinking Lockett may have the key to beating Pavlik. Pavlik leaves that right hand out a long time after throwing it, Lockett just has to time the right off the double jab which he throws regularly and it will be lights out Pavlik. Watching Lockett highlights he definately has the tools to deal with Pavlik maybe even k.o. him if Pavlik gets cocky. Pavliks only chance is gonna be to outbox him and move all night.
Yeah right April Fools!!!
He's overrated because he was close to being the ring's fighter of the year and some of the boxing press gave him more credit than Calzaghe, Mayweather and Manny. Lets be honest - he has won one big fight, and people have gone over the top. As for the Lockett fight, I hope Gary beats him, but could Pavlik have picked a better fight? He's picked someone who will attack, and he will box off the back foot until Lockett gets knackered, and then he'll open up and look good. I like Pavlik, but he hasn't proved himself yet.
In answer to the topic title . . . YES !
The styles arent a good mix for the Welsh man who prefers having the room to get his shots off and fight at his own pace . Pav strikes me as being physically a much larger man and we know he has a huge edge in punch power
Lockets chin is also one of his vunerabilitys and he's already been beaten at a much lower level than this. I wouldnt like to be in tem locket for this one but the only advice I'd be able to give him would be , keep moving give angles , dont trade and be quick . Wrap your arms around Pav at every opportunity dont allow him to work on the inside and dont take any risks leaving your chin exposed. Pav IMO is just gonna walk straight through him . I hope it isnt an embarassing massacre .
