    We'll see if they fight. Abraham is tough, and he packs a hell of a punch. His left hook is murderous. Lockett was landing on Pavlik and he's garbage, Abraham will land my friend. Pavlik's defense isn't all that, he has a high guard but it's full of holes. Abraham is open too but as I said, my gut feeling, or my stomach cancer as you put it, is telling me that he would land first. I might change my mind if the fight is realized though.

    Okay, so your answer to my question:

    "What good fighter has Pavlik ever beaten or even fought? I mean, apart from Taylor"


    is:

    "...Taylor"

    Thanks for that...

    As for the rest of this post:

    -Pavlik is overrated but he is better than 'decent'
    -Abraham is underrated and considerably better than 'a grade F fighter'

    Nor would I mate.

    If they fight, Pavlik would be no more than 60/40 favourite in a pick em sort of fight between two guys whose prime strength is punching power. Moreover, Pavlik can be hit; his defense is okay and KD's against Taylor and Zuniga show that he can be hurt.

    Pavlik should be a 700 to 1 favorite overrated or not Abraham is Shizer!!60/40?

    More like 99.9/.01

    Thankfully, those who watch and understand boxing don't follow your line of reasoning.

    Otherwise, we'd have people answering questions with parts of the question. And who knows where that might wind up... :dunno:

    I know more than they do. The only way Pavlik loses is he if gets injured or some fluke. Pillow Fisted Shane Mosley knocked Shonnon Taylor the fuck out and people are viewing the highlight reel kayo to this day. Abraham went 12 with the uberscrub.

    Abraham makes me vomit. I should apologize though. Even though he is one of the worst champions to ever hold a title; he isn't the worst and he isn't even the worst middleweight champion today. Felix Sturm is probably worst. Both of this shitbags flourish in their Germanic Cocoon.
