Maybe its because Pavlik has gotten to show all his facets, while Lee's no hoper opponents having been able to show us much, but Pavlik has obviously shown us more even if its just because he's been around a long time.
Lee is open for anything up the middle and he is tall and lanky and would appear to be very easy to hit if he was going backwards.
I STILL cannot believe that people that get it into there heads that Pavlik isnt just this come forward Brawler. Did he show you by outjabbing and outboxing Taylor that his game has other facets?
Pavliks defense is most definetly better then Lees, his jab is stronger and longer, he hits harder, has a better chin, has a much greater variety of punches, is a much better finisher. All Lee has is a Handspeed advantage... and an age advantage i guess lol.
It would absolutely be terrible upsetting to see Lee get blown out in a few rounds by Pavlik, even to me and im a huge Pavlik fan.
But in 2 years? thats not a big jump at all. In 2 years you can get all the experience you need. You can prove yourself against quality opponents and you be tested and pass those tests.
If Lee is what they say he is, he will be ready in at least 2 years to face a championshop caliber fighter, and who knows, maybe he could beat a guy like Pavlik at that point. its very possible.
But now??? please, its a blowout.
