Eh… I thought Andrade’s brother beat him in his last fight.

but it was a hell of a fight

I had Andrade winning too, but either one of those guys makes for a good fight against Pavlik.

Yeah… I know it will be a action packed fight but lets be honest, Rubio isn’t world class. Pavlik should have no problems with him given that he gets hit a bit too often and I expect it to last less than 5 rounds.

I'd say Rubio sort of is world class

Middleweight is still shallow past Kelly and King Arthur. But that’s a handicap and I agree with you in principle. Otherwise I’m touting Samuel Peter as “world class,” and though he technically IS, it’s not what the term should mean.

Rubio

I think about Rubio , Kofi Jantuah springs to mind. I know that was a lot of years ago but still..
What i do think is that it wont be a pushover for Pavlik. He will have a few problems before putting him away. Should be fun im watching.

Rubio looks like a closer cropped Mr Miyagi…

Seriously, in that photo he looks like a 45 year old, just released from prison, child pornographer. I wouldn’t tell him that, though….

Does the fact a boxer doesn't switch weight divisions during their career detract from their overall P4P ranking?

Cos I'd take Hagler over most heavies in history, P4P, and also over "6 weight world champion" Oscar De La Hoya, and Marvellous Marvin never really messed about with his weight, did he?

doint know why

but he is reminding me of Vaga from Street Fighter

I dunno where you got that from… but Street Fighter II is the best game from my childhood.

Street Fighter I was better

The original version in the arcade had a punch pad instead of three buttons, and the strength of the punch of kick depended on how hard you hit that pad. I remember playing against Mike (you could only play as Ryu or Ken in the original), who was obviously supposed to be Mike Tyson, and just punching the damn thing as hard as I could.

Vogt early, Vogt often.
