There is a dearth, an unfortunate lackthereof...too often wee get represented as the weak abled -- and weak minded -- George Costanzas of the world...hair is so often -- and so powerfully -- linked to virility; I think it is great that a potential superstar in the most "masculine" arena in sports is on the prowl and is a pure-blood, like many of us.

Kelly Pavlik, who I've followed for years, and current boxing champ and juggernaut (who also happens to be a chill guy), is easily my new, favorite athlete. This dude rocks out and is a *pure-blood NW7* (!!!) and I don't think he is even 26 (!!!)...for his fights he almost always shaves to the skin, but, nonetheless plenty of times I have seen him sport the most stereotypically, egregious "bald man" look this side of the Mississippi.

He is fighting this Saturday in a huge bout (rematch); let us, of The Balded Nation, pray that one of our brethren continues to carry the torch proudly this weekend and represents.

In Kelly We Trust.

N.B. I couldn't readily find any pics of him online w/ his NW7 grown out, but it is there!

You just named one of my favorite characters, and a boxer from Youngstown Ohio who I love to watch box.
I was at the Jermaine Taylor when Kelly knocked him out. I was sitting 4 rows behind a guy that was suffering from traction alopecia Lennox Lewis.

TA,

This is why newbies in their early 20's should not get HT, NW7 looks better bald than trying beat it with a HT.

Isn't it funny that in the ring, baldness can actually intimidate others. Outside the ring, baldness is sometimes intimidated by guys with hair!!

Nobuzz--so true about the NW7
