2007 Kelly Pavlik vs Gennady Golovkin: Who Wins?

lol roflmao Being serious! GGG ain't fought nobody. Anybody can look great beating up bums with the same style. Basically an over-hyped Miranda.

only joke here is you and your nut hugging. pavlik snipes him through the ropes. Ggg's record + opposition = sucks. lol roflmao

Lol. Pavlik got dropped and struggled with c level fighters at times.

Pavlik was a one dimensional fighter. Left Jab-straight right hand. GGG would outbox him, and break him down all night. Golovkin by late round stoppage or UD.

He loses. This guy was garbage. Is this a joke? Pavlik would quit in the third round.

Is this a joke thread? GGG and it's not even close. Only joke here is you and your nut hugging. Pavlik snipes him through the ropes. GGG's record + opposition = sucks.

We never saw Pavlik vs consistently skilled fighters. His most skilled opponents were Taylor, Hopkins and Martinez. First of all, he destroyed Taylor after getting badly hurt himself in round 2, he caught a beating there from a JT who was not known to end fights in KO's. Then in the rematch, people forget but it was very close. He followed this up with an upset loss to Hopkins, which I called, and then losing to Martinez which I thought Pavlik would win that fight. So yeah, GGG wins, idk if it's by KO, but Pavlik seemed very vulnerable in the Taylor rematch, Hopkins fight and Martinez fight and I think that's enough evidence that GGG would have a good showing against Pav.

I was never impressed with Pavlik. He was a not an elite fighter IMO. I would go with Golovkin.

GGG would have been too fundamentally sound for Kelly Pavlik. Here are the reasons why? One, the Ghost was too easy to hit, second, he had very slow feet and last but not least he didn't have a very good chin against a huge puncher like Gennady Golovkin.

Pavlik didn't have an iron chin. He got hurt badly against Taylor. More important than that he could be busted up (see Martinez fight). He might not have been dropped by Golovkin but he would have been a bloody mess (think Rosario vs. Golovkin). Everyone talks about Golovkin's competition, look at Pavlik's resume, excluding Taylor it is a bunch of nothings. But I don't get into that too much because sometimes it just isn't your fault. Everyone said Hopkins beat a bunch of nobodies too. He didn't get the deserved respect until the Tito fight. Also, you can't compare how Jacobs fought against Golovkin. They have completely different styles, Pavlik would never fight the way Jacobs did and thus Golovkin wouldn't fight against Pavlik the way he did against Jacobs. I wouldn't compare the way Martinez fought against Pavlik to demonstrate how Golovkin would beat Pavlik either. Golovkin would never and could never fight that type of fight. Pavlik vs. Golovkin would have been a fun fight. Toe to toe action. But Golovkin's better skill, precise punching and Pavlik's fragile skin, would give Golovkin a W. Now of course I'm making a big leap of faith that Golovkin beats Canelo. Pavlik had an iron chin, you do realize when JT hurt him it was a shot to the ear that took Pavlik to the noodle dance right, not to the chin, and Pavlik survived and came back. GGG chin has yet to be tested, nobody has every really traded full blast on his chin, Pavlik would pressure and wear out GGG. too bad Pavlik is packed with muscle now and cant make 168 anymore, he weighs 225 pounds of muscle at 6 foot 2.

Nevermind I just realized this is an old thread.

Kelly Pavlik is big boy, and has REAL one punch power, GGG has heavy hands but Pavlik was 6 foot 2 iron chin and great stamina and conditioning in his prime. GGG would wilt under Pavliks pressure.

I made this thread a while back and people were all joking like it's a joke then GGG has a close fight with Jacobs and people change lol. Funny. Pavlik would have hurt Golovkin bad. Pavlik's chin was very sturdy and he only got rocked by really quick counters. He would have backed GGG up and landed his right hand. Talk about an ATG fight though..

GGG would steamroll him within 6. Pavlik wasn't hard to hit and could be put down.

GGG wins this fairly easy, he'd have broke Pavlik down. Pavlik was a good fighter but even at his best he doesn't have the heart to stand a war with GGG.

Will be a good fight, Kelly Pavlik in my opinion my have just possessed more punching power! But punching selection/variation was alittle more less versatile than Gennady Golovkin's! (During the second Jermaine Taylor fight, Pavlik was bothered by body shots! so to conclude? I believe Golovkin will win via TKO due to body shots, but he would have to get up off the Canvas at some point in the fight to win!)....

Pavlik beating GGG, LOL! Amazing how beating Jermain Taylor, who was a good fighter but never anything special takes Pavlik so high in the ratings. Of course Golovkin still has to finish off Canelo but assuming he does this isn't even close. Golovkin is more polished and Pavlik's style is perfect for Golovkin.

That wasn't a legit KD. Martinez was off balance and went down. Pavlik never hurt him. Pavlik could punch but he's not quite the puncher GGG is. They both have sort of a wear you down/clubbing type punch, but GGG is more explosive with it and is better at landing it. I think Kelly punched harder. You think GGG. That's cool. Nothing wrong with disagreeing. At least we didn't start calling each other names like most of the poster on here.

He knocked Martinez down bro. I should clarify,I think Kelly punches harder than GGG. By no means I'm I saying GGG cannot punch. He is obviously a very very hard puncher. That wasn't a legit KD. Martinez was off balance and went down. Pavlik never hurt him. Pavlik could punch but he's not quite the puncher GGG is. They both have sort of a wear you down/clubbing type punch, but GGG is more explosive with it and is better at landing it.
