    Froch would need to be hit by a plane before he gets KOed.
    Al Qaeda TKO1 Froch.

      I voted for Froch by KO.

      Pavlik has done well to come back from every KD in his career to score a KO win, so it's possible that Froch doesn't manage to take him out, even if he gets him hurt. I think Froch would stop him though because the fight would be a war, which would suit Froch moreso than Pavlik.

      It's a 50/50 fight, but Pavlik doesn't look quite as good above 160, so I'd pick Froch.

        I picked a KO by Froch, and since these are two of my favourite boxers, it would be a fight I'd love to see
        It would depend upon a couple of things.

        First of all, I think we all saw the weaknesses that Froch has from the Taylor fight. Great fight, epic win, but Froch isn't Tommy Hearns, and if he's going to continue to fight the way that he does, he can expect to eat more power shots, and as good as his chin is, you can't last forever on that. Second, Kelly's heart would be a big factor in the fight. I really don't take the Rubio win as a good assessment of Kelly's ability. For one, I think that his killer instinct got B-hopped out of him. I think that Froch simply has more power than Kelly, esp at SMW, but I think that Kelly has a great chance to wear him down early, and take some of that power from him. Still, at the end of the day, I think Froch will show more heart than his opponent and I predict a KO between 9-12

                Abadger? Is that another NSB poster? If so, no, I'm actually new on NSB.

                  You can't say that Pavlik has a better chin than Froch. Pavliks at a lower division and he was seriously wobbled against Taylor in their first fight, Froch's knockdown against Taylor was more of a flashknockdown, and was the first KD of his career, amateur included.

                    Considering Pavlik was chased out of the Super Middle Weight Division, I would have to give the advantage to Froch and if ****** Froch would just let his right hand go more he would make this an easy night for himself. Froch is going to have to learn to trust and to use his power. Had Taylor ran the entire 12th round, Taylor might have won that fight against Froch by a slim margin on the score cards.
