Ryan Burton of BoxingScene.com got a pretty great interview out of middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik recently. Pavlik talks about Sergio Martinez, Paul Williams, his loss to Bernard Hopkins, the perception of him as a fighter, and more: "Now you got guys like Roy Jones who have lost what five out of his last ten fights? He is turning back around and fighting Bernard Hopkins and no one says sh*t about it. "You have guys like Cotto who got beat up twice and he turns around and he is moving up to fight Foreman for his title. There is nothing said about Miguel Cotto. He has been stopped, knocked out twice. You have guys like De La Hoya and Pacquiao. De La Hoya had six losses and Pacquiao had four losses (editors note: 3 losses and a draw to Marquez) and they still fought big fights after losses. Floyd Mayweather turned around and fought Marquez who came up two weight classes and Marquez wasn't the same fighter he was when he fought Pacquiao and nothing is said. Something is said about me because I am a Midwestern fighter." If he thinks nobody has said anything negative about Hopkins-Jones II, Miguel Cotto's status as an elite fighter, or Mayweather-Marquez, I have no idea what sport he's been following.
