Pavlik was 172, Hopkins was 185 - Kelly lost to a bigger man

I Knew someone would find photos like that and post them. Were they altered somehow?

The other photos I saw and at the weigh-in, Hopkins looked taller. I need to go to work now, so I don't have time to post them.

Yes, you did. Because it's true, Hopkins is shorter or at most the same height. No, they have not been altered. You can look in the BS picture section and they are there.

At the weigh in they looked pretty much the same. Anyway, height is just another excuse as to Pavlik losing.

I thought you said that you have Hopkins credit, cause it sure don't seem it now..

Pavlik got whooped. I was rooting for Pavlik and he got totally dominated. If he were 10 lbs heavier, it wouldn't have made a difference. He was ridiculously slow and sluggish already. Hell I could throw a much faster punch than that kid. His performance was pathetic and he should just go away. I don't want to see that kid in boxing anymore.

So you just dump him because he lost to an ATG who put in a career best performance? I feel sorry for Pavlik after reading these boards today and realising he has a lot of fans like you who have already abandoned him now he's lost his 0. I hope Kelly comes back and continues to dominate the middleweight division and continues to win over real fans.

At the time of the fight, the more thickly built Bernard Hopkins weighed 185 while Kelly Pavlik was 172.



Hopkins seemed stonger than the slender Pavlik, and no wonder - he walks around at about 15 pounds heavier.

Can't you read the link, idiot?

1. Yes but a link to some random website and guy chatting about a fight is not evidence. HBO clearly listed the true weights of 174/180 and no one disputes this, not even Kelly says the weight difference was a big issue.

2. You haven't denied creating an alt suggesting the fight was fixed.

3. Your even suggesting photos were altered to make Kelly look taller than he is. This is another false excuse from you within a 48 hour period of Hopkins legitimately schooling Pavlik.

Here's a shot from the weigh in,



Pretty much the same height to me, Hopkins looks a slight bit taller. But compare it to the other pics I posed, there is evidence both ways.

I was rooting for Pavlik and he got totally dominated get over it

[Pugilistic™]

There was like a 5 pound difference in the fight.

[S A M U R A I]

This thread is seriously clutching at straws.

Funniest thing was suggesting pictures were altered. Jesus. Who in their right mind would put those pics in a graphic/photo editor and make Pavlik taller? And for what reason?

This is so dumb...

I'M TIRED OF PEOPLE MAKING EXCUSES! Listen, I respect Pavlik as a fighter. He's good, not great. He was simply outskilled by a more knowledgable fighter. There are so many things going on in the ring and unless you've laced up a pair of gloves, you just couldn't understand. As far as the weight.....The rules are if you make the weight during weigh-in's your good. This goes for Williams, Margarito ext. (and I'm a Cotto fan) that's part of this "sweet science." If you take a risk and try to cut too low chances are it could effect you in a negitive way. They can go in the ring weak and dehidrated Those are some of the risk you take when choosing opponents and weight classes you choose to fight. Pavlik leaned on that contract. No excuses! I'm old school anyways. They have too many weight divisions and belts running around.
