Pavlik vs. Dawson at 170

[dc6112]

Who would win between these two, at a catch weight of 170, now that the Dawson mystique is somewhat gone after the controversial Glen Johnson decision? Explain your vote if you can.

I need to see how effective Pavlik will be carrying the extra weight.

Dawson is very chinny and susceptible to right hands, that's a recipe for disaster against Pavlik.

I'd have to say that Pavlik would take it, IF he doesn't have a problem moving with the extra weight. He looked really good at 164 for the 2nd Taylor fight, so I think fighting around 170 wouldn't be a problem for him at all, he's got a big frame anyways.

Dawson would obviously be a better boxer and have the speed advantage, but so did Taylor when they fought.

I think Kelly would carry the weight well at 170, his frame is suited for it. I see him giving Dawson the 1-2 combo all night with dawson just guarding his suspect chin and not throwing enough back.
