What gameplan do you feel would be the best to defeat Pavlik?

[2501]

We've seen him in the ring knocking people out left and right. He comes forward and follows a jab with a straight. He doesn't provide many angles and is pretty predictable, yet he is still unbeaten. If you were a trainer, how you prepare for Pavlik?

Sugar Ray Leonard style: "Dip, and slide" like he did against Hagler.

Really whoever is to beat Kelly would really just need to get in, land a few good combination punches and get out, use footwork and angles to offset Kelly's punching power. Whether Kelly is ordinary or not he'll knock you the **** out if you're not constantly moving.

fight at 154 or 168.......

I agree... at all costs do not stand in front of pavlik, if you don't win, atleast you might go all 12 rounds.

This type of conversation is one of the reasons why I think Hopkins would beat Pavlik at 160, if he was in his prime. He's too crafty, uses his footwork to his advantage, and would never let Pavlik stand in front of him long enough to hit him with enough flush right hands.

Straight right hands all night on Pavlik's chin.

see thats why i felt that Calzaghe would make good work of Pavlik. It wouldn't be east, but I thought Calz would win a UD. but ovbiously, Calz is either scared or delusional about Pav's worth.

At 6'2" and built like a bread stick , Kelly would have no problems at all at 168 , on the contrary he would probably hit harder .

[Mr. Ryan]

I was surprised Pavlik was able to take the body shots from Taylor in the rematch. If they fought at 160 I don't think Pavlik would have stood up to them so well.

A really really hard chin and very good boxing ability............

You have to make Kelly reset but he's long, really long, it's hard to jump in and out or sideways for all 12. Zaghe with his size and speed could do it. Kessler might be able to do it. Abraham might knock him out. Forget about Winky though. The Winkster would likely be massacred only if his monetary demands come down a bit and Bob Arum grows bigger balls.
