kelly pavlik against past middle and light heavyweights

[Deanrw]

Tommy had a longer reach then kelly does...Pavlik has only an inch and a hlf height advantage

I don't think Tommy had longer arms than Pavlik, much of his reach total was due to the broadness of his shoulders, which were formidable BTW.

As for Pavlik vs Tommy. Tommy was one of those guys who would get to you quickly, and if not you then had your shot. It is a crapshoot with him. He had good boxing skills but only used them when forced to, usually when he was tired, losing and it was simply too late. He depended on that right hand and it usually got the job done.

Reach is reach mate....use it properly and you have the advantage
