Pavlik Vs Hopkins Poll

[Rantcatrat]

Im a Pavlik fan you cannot dislike the guy! its the nut jobs that think he is the second coming of Christ. Pavlik is a limited power punching brawler that will find against Hopkins that unless he adds a dimension he will not hang with a Calzaghe, Kessler, Bute.

Do not mistake me as a Pavlik hater, im a realist. Problem is Pavliks fans have what i call "power punch syndrome" in which he gains a good fowllowing and in that following are total tards that trash every fighter in and around his weight whilst proclaim their man as Jesus b2b God b2b Zelenoffs lack of heart.

I remember the same happened in the Uk with Nigel Benn, people get blinded by power and so-called "white collar"

Lets hope Pavlik can be 50% of what Benn was.

Pavlik can't hang with Kessler? That's ridiculous. Does Kessler have a chin to handle a Pavlik punch? He backed out of a fight with Miranda and fought two club fighters over the past year.

Bute has only one convincing win on his resume: Sakio Bika. A fight with Bute would never happen because who outside of Montreal knows anything about Bute?

I give Joe the edge in a fight with Pavlik although I was a bit dismayed he took the fight with RJJ rather than fight Pavlik, you should hope that isn't indicative of any doubt. Remember what Pavlik did to his stablemate. Didn't that guy retire after the fight?

Answer me this: what if Pavlik beats Bernard in a better fashion than Joe beat Bernard? Gains your respect?

Well i certainly know about Lucian Bute he is the only fighter who has ever stopped Kabary Salem, who heavily dropped Joe Calzaghe. And gave Joe Calzaghe 12 tough/awkward rounds.

He also stopped Alejandro Berrio who isn't a bad fighter, and has a very high KO percentage. Sakio Bika say what you want about him, but no one has had an easy time with Sakio Bika.

Including Joe Calzaghe who received a very tough physical fight, where he looked like he was fading a bit near the end of the fight. Lucian Bute beat Sakio Bika more convincing than anyone else has including Joe Calzaghe.

And now Lucian Bute is fighting Librado Andrade so he is willing, to fight the top fighters in the Super Middleweight division. I've told people from last year Lucian Bute is the dark horse of the division, and he will suprise many people.

I too like what I've seen from Lucian Bute albeit against primarily limited opposition.

Let's not forget, Salem was 37 when he faced Bute and was coming off of two straight losses. For all of his toughness, Salem hadn't faced any big-time opposition. Berrio is another tough boxer who also has never faced big-time opposition.

Like I said earlier, Bute's biggest win was against Bika. Bika is a beast and I give Bute credit for dominating him.

I am curious to see how he'll perform against Andrade. Kessler dominated Andrade, but couldn't stop him. Will Bute stop Andrade? Andrade has a granite chin. Andrade also has 8 inches in reach on Bute!

If Bute beats Andrade, I think it will be fare to say that Bute can beat limited boxers with granite chins: Salem, Bika, and Andrade (if). His next challenge should be a good athlete that can box.
