Dawson vs pavlik at a catch weight?

[ReadyUp]

Hopkinz would slap him silly like he doez to every1 else. Hopkins become undisputed LHW champ when he beat Tarver mayne.

Calm down Milky......Q-Tip......

what if Chad Dawson and Kelly Pavlik met at a catch weight at say.........170. not vacating thier titles but just for one this one time. who do you think will win.
My uncle and i were having an arguement about this last week. He said pavlik would bring the heat and win by decision or late knockout. I said dawson is not jermain taylor. he will not keep his hand down and stand there rocking his arms in front of pavlik. Dawson has cat-like reflexes, is a slick southpaw, and will use the ring. I said pavlik would get countered all night. I picked Dawson by unanimous decision.

Chad Dawson is the best boxer in the world north of 154. There ain't anybody he can't beat including the brothers Klitschko. I don't know why his manager is playing around with these minor league fights. Perhaps everybody is ducking him. At least they should be making a lot more noise.

Pavlik would work him. Dawson's a softy. Pavlik would hurt this kid early and Dawson would be on his bike. He's slick for a big man but he isn't even as good as Tarver was in his prime. Tarver at least could punch with the left hand and right hook. Easy fight for Pavlik, IMO. Weight doesn't matter because Pavlik is huge for 160 and he is stronger then Dawson.

Pavlik's my boy but I have to say I think Dawson by UD. His domination of Adamek was incredible. He would not knock Pavlik out tho, no way. There is a chance Pavlik could KO Dawson in the later rounds by landing enough of those straight rights, but Dawson is slick enough to probably avoid it.

And what the **** does race have to do with knowing Chad Dawson? I'm white and I been knowing who he is, as have a lot of other white folks in this forum I'm sure...

No doubt about it Bad Chad would destroy Pavlik! As far as Nard and Tarver... Both of them want no part of the kid. If he fought either one of the old men he would send them into retirement quick! The boy has sickening reflexes (ala Roy Jones Jr. in his prime), decent power, and the hunger of a young fighter and he's the light heavyweight champ.

Dawson by TKO6, Dawson has knocked out Light-Heavyweights and Pavlik is no Light-Heavyweight. It's going to be a one-sided beating. Pavlik doesn't have the skills or speed to match up with Dawson. Dawson would outwork him and them pummel him to a pulp, it will be brutal, and I don't care how tough Pavlik is. If he got knocked down by Taylor, just expect that except 5X worse. Just watch the fight with Harding, Adamek, Ruiz, and Medonza his skills are astonishing.

I disagree. When dawson was knocked down by ademek he did not hold or nothing. he fought back and did well. i think ademek is bigger than pavlik as well. Ademek is fighting at cruiserweight right now so i am pretty sure he is bigger than pavlik. I think the dawson vs pavlik fight would look similar to the dawson vs ademek fight. Pavlik would have some moments, maybe hurting dawson at some points, but i think dawson would be in full control. you cant hit nothing you cant see. dawson would be in and out all night.

[Tyson Jones]

dawsons power is seriously underrated. He usually wins by knockout and is the wbc lhw champ. just because you guys dont watch showtime boxing shouldnt mean you dismiss this guy, he weighs 172 pounds on fight nights. He hits harder, hits faster and blocks punches much better kelly pavlik. pavlik wouldnt carry up the weight well. it would make him very sluggish, you can tell by look at his body type.

[slicksouthpaw16]

Pavlik is also smaller and probably wont have the same power at 170 if it happened.

[TopDawg]

Dawson by KO and it wouldn't even be close.
