Poll: Kelly Pavlik vs Al Hostak

[anarci]

this is a very intresing matchup in my opinon. Two big rangy power punching Middle weights what do you think about this one:huh

[burt bienstock]

Hostak was a tremendous punch Kelly Pavlik , who I like as a puncher very much, is not in same league with Al Hostak. Al Hostak was a tremendous puncher who kod,42 opponents in 83 bouts....But look at the calibre opponents he faced...MANY , today would be middleweight champs, such as Steve Belloise,Anton Raadik,Ken Overlin,Solly Kreiger,Tony Zale,Freddie Steele,etc....Unfortuanetly Hostak, because of poweful hitting power suffered broken hands often, A great handicap to a great fighter, Al Hostak....Much too much for Kelly Pavlik.......

I'd lean toward Hostak as well. He was sturdier, a more explosive puncher, and in general looks better all-around IMO, plus he's done and proved more at the world class level.
