youve gotta hand it to pavlik

err.. Haye and Margarito gunshy? Think you're looking for a different word mate.

The theory about Pavlik's weight is a bit off too.

One of the MANY excuses given for his defeat was being too small at 170. He weighed only 171 on the night which is what he normally weighs for middleweight bouts.

Yeah, I think this thread is confusing. Margarito and Haye gunshy? Thats news to me. And Pavlik isn't exactly going right after King Arthur. Thats his only real threat at 160. But I do think Pavlik is a good guy for boxing. I don't knock a boxer for taking on less than great fighters here and there. They need fights that allow going back to the drawing board. But lets not make it something it isn't. Pavlik didn't get terribly punished by B-Hop he just got outboxed silly every round. His boxing style is straight up and down so he was bound to have trouble against a wiley B-Hop. He'll be okay and he'll have Rubio out of there.
