Pavlik....Godzilla of the middleweights.

Don't see why you'd be bad repped for saying that. I don't see that fight happening though. I like Joe (not necessarily a fan) but he is getting long in the tooth in boxing years and I prefer him fighting those suited for him.

I heard the announcer mention a RJJ match up. I wouldn't hold it against Joe now to make as much $$ as he can at this point fighting these type of match ups, similar to the Hopkins fight. I seriously don't think he has it to fight the best there is right now, and I think they know that. So from a marketing stand point, it is smart.

I also don't feel he really has anything to prove. I suspect people are just hoping to see him lose before he finishes though. Maybe he will, who knows, but I doubt it will be against a Pavlik.

Lockett landed a few hard shots in the first round and they didn't even phaze pavlik.

Lockett couldnt KO Ryan Rhodes so wot chance did he have of Knocking out a man who had taken shots of Miranda etc.
answer - no chance wot so ever. his ranking at number 1 contender was questionable at best.
and WTF was Warren talking about after the fight ? is he for real ?

Pavlik did what alot of champs find hard to do,turn up for the smaller fights. How any times have we seen guys lookk awesome on the big stage then lose their title to some unknown mandatory? Excellent performance,looked sharp,awesome bodyhots and the jab right hand is a thing of beauty. How hard does the guy hit,Lockett was blocking the punches and still getting hurt!?1

Its a mystry to me why people bang on about how predictable Pavlik is , and how he does a few things very well.
The fact is he is a formidable fighter and good to watch , also hes a good guy.

He should stay at middle as long as he can make the weight , i hope he fights Abraham next.

That's the truth, plain and simple.

His defensive skills have been great in his last two fights. He bats the punches with his gloves. I like that. It was a art that Harry Grebb and Jack Johnson perfected. It is a lost art and its great to see a champ today use that technique.
