Pavlik joins the greats tonight!!!!

[Vincent Gottschalk]

Harry Greb, Ray Robinson, Carlos Monzon, Marvin Hagler and now he who be the best of them all Kelly Pavlik!!!!!!!!!:happy :happy :happy :happy :happy

[Zakman]

Well, let's not go overboard. It's only Jermaine Taylor he's going to destroy. Not like Taylor has been that impressive since HBO got him the title.

Pavlik, however, will be impressive in destroying this hype job. No gift decisions THIS time! :nod

[Max Molyneux]

Your not using chin logic are you Zak? As crap as Taylor Is he boxes better than Pavlik.

[hacim419]

Let's hope so, although I really like Taylor too, both seem like good down to earth dudes.

[Zakman]

Zakster: Do you think Kelly will have to KO tayor to win??:hey

Yes. And he better hope he knocks him cold too. If the HBO suits are able to revive him in time and it goes to the pre-written scorecards - fuggedabowtit!

Pavlik would have to win every round to nick a split decision against HBOs darling.:yep

[Vincent Gottschalk]

I think more of Taylor then you do Zak, I think he is a gutty talented fighter with speed and skill. The first 5 rounds of this fight are going to be a war but bit by bit Pavlik will grind down Taylor to stop the champ in 9 brutal rounds.:bbb

[Asterion]

Pavlik KO5.

If it is a decision, Pavlik will win but we will end up giving respect to Taylor too.

[PH|LLA]

well he is gonna undisputed middleweight champion of the world if he wins

which he wont

[Vincent Gottschalk]

The best thing for boxing is a Pavlik win tonight the guys style is all action he can't be in a bad fight :bbb unlike Taylor who has be in stinkers:-(
As for Taylors chin I think he has a good one after all never floored as a pro or amateur Kelly will KO him but it will late after Taylor has taken a lot of head and body shots:!:

[nrgetic]

Pavlik is quite a fan friendly marketable proposition so maybe HBO would not be at all upset if he won a decision ie no help from HBO re a gift decision for Taylor

[SKULLSPLITTER]

lol

Pavlik joins Margarito tonight.

[Vincent Gottschalk]

I really don't see HBO favoring Taylor if fight goes to the cards after all Pavlik has making of a real superstar:happy for HBO unlike Hopkins or Winky who both boring fighters:tired

[brooklyn1550]

Pavlik will NOT become a great tonight. He's still got a ways to go to achieve greatness.

And as much as you hate Bernard Hopkins, he deserves to be up there with Hagler, Robinson, Monzon, and Greb...no if, ands, or buts about it.

That is a very astute observation.
