How would Roy Jones do against Pavlik?

Would he dominate also? I can see him pot shot his way to a decision, but not winning every round...8-4 probly..But there's always his chin though he did take Tito's punches well. He'd be more stationary than B-Hop so he'll counter on the inside which makes a good showing.

Roy is faster than Hopkins. I think he would have possibly KOd Pavlik with a combination.

It depends on how much he has left, his handspeed and smarts would have given Pavlik a lot of trouble but Jones gets pushed back pretty easily now so it's hard to say. Jones said he offered to fight Pavlik at 170 after the Trinidad fight but Pavlik's camp said no so maybe Pavlik's camp wasn't too confident about that fight.

I think Roy could of caused Kelly trouble with his hand speed and boxing brain and skill especaiily at a catchweight, but yes Roy has lost most of his reflexes now and can be pushed back a lot easier and i think there would be douts wether he could stand up to kelly's punches now with his punch reisitance. Can't see it happening as i can see Kelly just leaving catchweights alone for a while and staying at Middleweight, and who knows what next for Roy probaly all depends on what happens in the Calzaghe fight.

Which worldclass fighter has Pavlik ever knocked out without landing 30 punches a round at a point where his opponent barely could stand?

He got thin arms
Isn't fast
not the best technique

= Worldclass devastating super puncher, cmon guys get real, there are already 2 threads that say that he isn't a murderous puncher.

Roy would either play it safe and win on points or tko him late.
I agree with Zerwas1 in that Pav's power has been a little bit over hyped.

Roy would've won, but not the way B-Hop did. Roy would never stand and exchange with Kelly the way B-Hop did at times or sustain the movement. Roy would've layed on the ropes callin it defense, and Pavlik would've won some rounds.

Roy would win unless Pavlik lands a REAL big shot, Roy would proberbly pot shot his way or maybe TKO him with a combintion.

**Kris Silver** · 10-20-2008, 06:53 AM

Roy would win only with more trouble along the way. He's not as slick as Hops. He has way more speed than both though, to the extent he could still use his speed to avoid Pavliks slow punches, and also his improved defence. So it'd be unlikely he'd get tagged enough for real problems, and his ring intelligence, variety and speed would beat Pavlik to the punch all night. Roy UD.

Depends how much Jones has left. A prime Jones would have him out of there within 1 round. 2 at the outside.
