    Whats The Better Fight For Pavlik? Mundine Or Duddy?

    Im a big Pavlik fan. I don't want to see him in the ring with Hopkins again. I mean i don't think we can win that, even in the rematch. Hopkins just has to many smarts and skills.

    Now Duddy is fighting at 154. And as a Pavlik fan i don't want to see that fight.

    But from what i have seen of Mundine. He is probably a better fighter then Sturm, so i wouldn't mind seeing that. And boxrec has him very high at number 3.

    Now in a perfect world i would want Abraham. Then Sturm. For the unification.

    Bout out of Duddy and Mundine? Who would you rather?

    Also presuming Paul Williams is a no go.

      Mundine should fight Sturm instead of all those aussie cabdrivers. I believe he's Sturms mandatory anyway.

          Mundine is very underrated.

            mundine has skills and is the better fighter but im not so sure about his chin and if he struggles to make 160 it won't help his punch resistance neither. but he is a very good fighter with good skills and a good jab, if he makes 160 easily and isn'ttoo weight draine then i see him giving pavlik real problems.

            duddy on the other hand is tailor made for pavlik - he doesn;t any other way to fight but to come forward and pavlik would KO him inside 7 rounds. whats more hes a bigger draw in the states and more marketable so i see that fight being made sometime this year.

            pavlik strikes me as an okay type of guy, he has a good heart, decent power and a good workrate but i honestly believe that anyone with good skills would be able to beat him - hopkins, abraham, winky, mundine (as long as he makes the weight easily) would all give him problems and the first 3 easily beat him. i think pavliks promoter and trainer know this so i can see him being fed fighters like john duddy.

              Financially and stylistically, Duddy is the better fight for Pavlik. Mundine is the better fighter but is nowhere near as popular as Duddy is in the US.

                Thats right, Sturm will surely fight Mundine after he has defeated that japanese club fighter named Sato. He HAS to fight him actually. And that will be a difficult fight for Sturm.

                  Mundine is a better opponent than Duddy. He's a former world titleholder and a big name in Australia.

                    Mundine is easily the better fight for Pavlik. If he can make 160 he'd actually be a big MW with some skills, unlike Duddy who would be outsized, overpowered, and doesn't have the technical skills or natural talent to make up for it.
