Who would win: Carl Froch or Kelly Pavlik at 168

[damned1974]

I would pick Pavlik. Pavlik flourishes against fighters who go toe to toe with him.Don't be fooled by the 2 times he has fought above 160. Against Taylor,he didn't look sluggish,he just looked to be more strategic/ tentative-not sluggish. Against Hopkins,he moved up to light heavy,2 divisions higher,and had too many ailments.I would like him to move up to smw, to see where his determination and right hand get him-it may not be too far....

pavlik.. froch is tailor made for pavlik.. I still think pavlik is one of the hardest puncher p4p in the sport so i think a guy who does not have good defense gets taylor'd 1st fight.
