His words should not be picked apart. They are the musings of a person who has just been given a big jolt and. You shouldnt read too much into what he says here.
Word.
guys are right, no point bagging Pavlik for these comments. what do you expect him to say? That he's not worthy or something

He's probably never felt so low in his life, very very few people would have been more gracious in that situation.

He is certainly in denial though, this SHOULD be a reality check for him to make some real adjustments. I think he also lost some of the hunger after the first Taylor fight, which is really bad for a pressure fighter when they lose that 'walk through anything' attitude, he was really weary of being hit by Hopkins and there was no real relaxation after that.

We'll see what Pavlik is made of in his next couple of fights.
