    Actually Double is right, it has been stated in several places, possibly HBO have quoted it too, that Pavlik got his nicknake because he was hard to hit.

    Which I thought was hilarious obviously :lol:

    But if REED has seen Pavlik himself say it's because he was white, then that must be true.

    But certainly, it has been stated elsewhere that it's because of Kelly's defensive prowess (lol).

    Question: Is Pavlik's lack of defense more or less "subtle" than Margarito's lack of defense??

    He was right in using a fighter's nickname to support a claim about him as a fighter?

    Mitch, no not in the slightest :lol:

    He was right purely in the sense that false or not, it has been stated that Kelly has that nickname because of his defensive wizardry.

    I thought it didn't make much sense at the time, so it comes as no surprise that it's actually because of his skin colour.

    Really though, Hatton should be called the Ghost, and Kelly should be called the fighting penis.

    From Boxingscene:

    Pavlik says the fight is far from a done deal but Mora is the likely choice because there no other opponents who are available. Pavlik's promoter, Bob Arum, claims the other two champions, Felix Sturm and Arthur Abraham, are asking for too much money to face Pavlik in America. Just in case people are wondering, Pavlik is not exactly interested in facing either of the two in their backyard of Germany.
