Does Kelly Pavlik beat any of these fighters?

He dominated Sakio Bika worse than Calzaghe, then beat the IBF champ by stopping him in the 11th. He is fighting Joppy next as an optional defense and should he win I heard he will fight the winner of undefeated contenders Carl Froch vs Denis Inkin.Comment

I don't think Kessler and Calzaghe have ever faced an opponent as good as Taylor or Pavlik. That is an opinion. Could be wrong. But there it is. I don't know who would win those fights, I'm just saying they haven't beaten anyone of that quality yet. Maybe if Calzaghe stopped hurting himself before every fight with Glen Johnson, or decided to leave the UK before his 35th birthday, or matched up with fighters who haven't been on game shows... we would have a better idea of who would win... right now... we have little to go on.Comment

I think he takes out Calzaghe and Bute pretty handily, but Kessler would be an extremely tough fight, and Dawsons Skills would pose problems as well.
Bute and Calzaghe are going to struggle, and have struggled in the past, fighting backwards. Neither would win more then 4 or 5 rounds, and could get stopped lateComment

whether he did or did not win in your opinion does not change the fact that taylor more than held his own against 2- atg fighter! the fights were all close! so your not correct that kess or joe have fought better comp than taylor! they may have fought even comp if you stretch it, but better? nah, not really!Comment

The only one I'd say he'd beat is Bute. Second most likely is Dawson but I see him being too fast for Pavlik but don't count Pavlik out of this one because of his power. Calzaghe and Kessler I don't see him beating them.Comment

Yeah Bute and Calzaghe are like Miranda. They will struggle fighting backwards! Infact I would be surprised if they last one round with Pavlik, as Pavlik KO'd Jermain Taylor who had already got gifts against Hopkins and Winky and couldn't beat Spinks LOL.I think he takes out Calzaghe and Bute pretty handily, but Kessler would be an extremely tough fight, and Dawsons Skills would pose problems as well.

But yeah conclusion is Pavlik knocks the **** out of them in 20 seconds.Comment
