Why is it difficult to give Pavlik his earned respect?

[PJ]

He beat Jermain plain and simple...

[Thor]

I think Jermain is equally deserving of some respect.

[Imperial1]

Both guys deseve all the respect in the world !

[bigeddie27]

Kelly earned respect from me at least. And so did Taylor. I hope the rematch happens ASAP, and in AC baby!

[pipe wrenched]

Both guys deseve all the respect in the world !

:good No Doubt!!

Without question, and LONG overdue. Big props to both.

[Alo2006]

I've had respect for both guys, it was a great fight. Bring on the rematch. This is a possible trilogy in the making :good

[Healy]

whos not giving Kelly respect? Dont think many will not respect him, or Taylor for that matter

[maciek4]

Definitly! But right now Pavlik gets a bit overated by some.

I dont think so. He proved he can bang with the banger Miranda and box with the boxer Taylor, both young, both undefeated both top rated middleweights

[Wige247]

Pavlik deserves all the respect in the world. Coming into this fight people questioned his chin, his heart, and whether or not he could handle someone of Jermain's caliber. Guess what? He came up big time in all those categories & cemented himself as the best Middleweight in the world. This isn't some fluke victory. He's been fighting eliminators & high level comp for the last several years & trying to get any of the champs into the ring. He delivered & he deserves as much respect as any champion in any division.

[Jose FM]

Both deserve props...

Pavlik is a bad ass. Pavlik hits like a ton of bricks. Pavlik is one seriously tough son of a bitch. Nobody but pure idiots are questioning Pavlik Those degenerates that downgrade Taylor to Fraud are the bitches I got beef with. But say Kessler and Calzaghe are legit. Beating a bunch of fucking nobody bums like Lacy, Manfredo sauce, Mundine..lol and better yet. Beyer... pure and utter garbage pale fighters who are truly over hyped frauds. Dawson would beat the shit out of both on the same night. Nobody is calling his name. Who wants Chad.that motherfucker is lightning quick.

[brooklyn1550]

Pavlik is one tough kid
Taylor showed heart

Both deserve respect!

[bumdujour]

He beat Jermain plain and simple...

well alot of deluded/retarded people think he beat a "bum" in taylor:patsch ............which is like the biggest fucking joke of the year.

[smk]

Pavlik gets no respect because he´s white. It´s as simple as that.

[Healy]

He's the wrong race.
why should race matter? America seems like a shit place to be a boxing fan...

Fuck off, the most overrated fighter ever is Marciano, a white guy.

[smk]

=> Yeah right. If a black boxer fought anyone at HW without a single loss he would be the GOAT. If a white boxer does it he´s considered nothing else but a joke.
