Hopkins, Calzaghe, Abraham, Dawson...can Pav lick beat all 3?

[Queen_Leia]

Is he that skilled to beat all 4 of these guys...I mean what your take on Kelly matchup with these 4 elite fighters

[abadger]

He should beat Hopkins, would have no chance against Calzaghe, might or might not beat either of the others, but I would make both of them favourite against him.

NO, Hopkins he can beat because of the age but AA and Joe will beat the GHOST.

[HomeBoys]

Hopkins and Dawson KO him, the slap would decision him but he would beat that other european Abraham.

I don't consider Pavlik American but I consider him Slovakian.

[MANGLER]

He'll beat Hopkins. Joe would beat him. Call an AA fight 50-50. He'd beat Dawson.

I don't consider Pavlik American but I consider him Slovakian.

Mate you got some real weird ideas going on .

[Kris Silver]

A few too many of Pavliks bombs will land on Hopkins so I'd give him the edge on that one.

Probably also on Abraham, though I think Abrahams developing well, is capable of great form when he chooses and works so could easily win.

I think Kessler and Calzaghe beat Pavlik by UD.

Dawson would be very close, difficult to call and I don't see it happening any time soon either.

First off....AA is not an ELITE FIGHTER...thats just a dumb statement, good yes not great yet and certainly not an Elite fighter.....Next up.....Hopkins is still a tough fight for anyone, no matter what his age would be....he's very slick and knows all the tricks of the trade....He knows how to make an ugly fight out of anyone and Pav will have a lotttt of trouble alll night with Hopkins........I think this is a winnable fight for Hopkins and i think that theres no chance in hell that Kelly KO's B-Hop......Thats just some other dumb **** yall must be on, the guy has never been KOed, and has the most durable defensive style that there has ever been in the history of boxing....This alone can allow him to fight until he is in his mid 40's.....

Pavlik might get by Hopkins, He would KO Abraham, Calz handles Pav although I cant stand Calz, thats as bad a matchup as there is for Kelly Pavlik out there, and lastly Dawson ****s all over Kelly....He's way to slick and this fight would be more one sided then a Calz fight...

Wait....About 3-4-5 years from now, we will look back and see a Kelly Pavlik who has lost 3-4 fights....Skill wise, he is not that far along, and I think that he's reached his peak as far as his ability to box....He has one of the most powerful and best 1'2's in the game, but if it wasn't for his KO power, he'd be in trouble against any fighter from 160-175....His power is what makes him a good fighter, but thats all he will ever be is a good fighter who will always be in there with good opposition, because of his one punch KO power......

Hopkins is a bad matchup for Pavlik IMO.

The only way Pavlik beats Calzaghe is if Pavilk brings a shooter to the ring with him.

Abraham and Dawson would also be tough fights for Pavlik but i'd give the edge to Pavlik.

A tough one for him for sure, we all know what Hopkins can do, but I just wonder how Hopkins could possibly get a decision over someone like Pavlik, unless he is really able to make Pavlik cautious, which is possible.
