Is Pavlik overrated ???

[Fenster]

He has been overrated by many BUT lost to a great fighter.. so no disgrace in that.

With his style he was always going to lose sooner rather than later.

I think he would've been pretty safe to reign at Middleweight for a good while without his hype dying down, but of course your not wrong about his style. There's probably a good five people I'd pick to beat him at 68 now without even mentioning Calzaghe or Hopkins. Someone else said it, but you have to wonder what the hell Pavlik was expecting to happen in there, he looked like he'd never seen lateral movement in his life.

I think you're right although he and Abraham is 50/50 (i slightly favour Abraham.. did so before the Hopkins fight) but agree he will be best suited to stay at middleweight for a good while.

He now has the problem of getting over the Hopkins thrashing too.. i expect he will be brought back with Duddy types.
