Let's keep the Ghost Pavlik in our prayers as he is battling with Alcohol and is in..

[Pavlik]

I wish only the best for Kelly, take care and God Bless.
Hopefully this news is just hearsay.

[The Fightfan]

Kind of reminds me of Gerry Cooney. Was flying high before the Holmes fight then when he lost he as HBO so elegantly put it "sent his career into a downward tailspin". We can only hope Kelly get's the right help and moves on.

[Diane]

Well I still haven't been able to find any other confirmation, but I do know that the guy who reported this, also reported about Kelly's new deal before anyone else.

I checked the local paper here, and nothing yet, but I'll keep checking.

It is funny that people are saying he became an alcoholic because of the Hopkins fight.

It's likely something that's been building up for years and finally got to the point where it was completely uncontrollable.

I will keep him in my prayers though, right between the one where I win the lottery and the one where I obtain god-like powers.

At least when you pray to imaginary friends you ask for the good stuff.

Fuck keeping him in my prayers

there are people out there with cancer... they are ill. Alcoholism is all about will power its non-treatable because it isnt a disease or illness.

Actually it isn't that easy i had a family member that was a serve drunk, it went on for atleast a year. Thats why i don't drink because i've lived it.

People will comeback and say well you can just have a pint or two, but it doesn't end up like that does it ? with mates there egging you on.

Theres too many drunken teenagers these days anyway, and thats why this country is going down hill.

But enough with the ranting i wish Kelly Pavlik well.

[LEGION]

I only wish I could drink alcohol; I can't stand the taste yuk!! But I would feel better about my addiction to dollhouses and dressing up in women's clothes if I was drunk enough to not notice.

[Quinito]

I had no idea Pavlik has that problem. That's really a news to me. I always like him. He's very humble and generous guy. Kelly difinitely made the right choice by asking for help. I wish him the best. Btw, welcome back Danny and Diane.

You really are a moron. You really should do a little research before you make stupid statements on a subject you obviously know nothing about.


The Journal of the American Medical Association defines alcoholism as "a primary, chronic disease characterized by impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and distortions in thinking." The DSM-IV (the standard for diagnosis in psychiatry and psychology) defines alcohol abuse as repeated use despite recurrent adverse consequences. It further defines alcohol dependence as alcohol abuse combined with tolerance, withdrawal, and an uncontrollable drive to drink.


Take it from someone who's father was a raging alcoholic. The disease had taken control of his life, and as young girl I begged him for years to get help. His help, came in the form of using his service revolver to blow his heart out when I was 15.

It's not an easy thing to kick, it's a battle that you have to face everyday, and I thank God that if Kelly does have a problem, that he is getting help, because I would hate for his 2 kids, to have to go through what I went through.

[Spicoli]

Hope he gets a handle on the demons.Looks to be one of the 'functional' drinkers if all of this is accurate.But it only takes a short amount of time to convince yourself of your own propaganda if it has its claws in you firm.Kellys a good guy.He sees it as problematic and is looking for help.Good on him.

[holmcall]

Adios, KP. Been nice while it lasted.

[Mar]

Dude has fought since then and looked fine....pavlik lost but it wasn't like he got his ass ko'ed or even seriously seriously hurt. He should be embarassed if anything for sticking his chin out at taylor then getting it checked, that stupidity was way worse than anything hopkins did. The guy didn't even loose his belt. He's having an alcohol problem cause he lives in freakin ohio among empty factories and vacant lots. Liquor stores are probably the only thing open. I for one call bullshit on this whole damn story. Wanna feel sorry for someone feel sorry for the thousands of vets who deserve to be drunks and others with lives way worse then pavlik. The rest of us have problems but without the stacks of cash in the bank to help. Help ricardo mayorga, that's a guy who needs rehab.

I came in here to say the same thing.

He didn't suddenly become an alcoholic because Hopkins whooped his ass, if this story if true it is something that has been with him for a long time.
