There is quite a reach difference between to two. Floyd struggles when he has the shorter arms.
Could Mayweather beat Pavlik?

Does anyone realize the height and reach advantages Pavlik would pose? Not to mention is Pavlik landed a right hand, Floyd wouldn't be able to take it. Sooner or later it would land. And since Pavlik is a pressure fighter, Floyds back would probably be against the ropes, Pavliks favorite position to get his fighters in.Comment

The reach difference is the biggest factor. Oscars reach bothered Floyd. All pavlik would have to do is extend him arm constantly, and floyd would be shook. Winnable fight for Floyd, very dangerous though.Does anyone realize the height and reach advantages Pavlik would pose? Not to mention is Pavlik landed a right hand, Floyd wouldn't be able to take it.

If Pavilk lands something decent he fight is over. But its a big if. He would have to chase Floyd a bit in this one. I doubt Floyd ever stands still in front of him for more the a second. If he sees the bombs coming I doubt Pavlik lands. Te reach would be the issue though but I think Floyd would still be able to counter and then get his body out of there. But then again Kelly only has to land one.....Does anyone realize the height and reach advantages Pavlik would pose? Not to mention is Pavlik landed a right hand, Floyd wouldn't be able to take it.

Yes, Kelly is too stationary and is not very versatile. Floyd could potshot his way to a shut out. I'm serious. The Mayweather camp should consider this.
I mean, is Floyd REALLY going to be endangered by jab jab right? Seriously thats all Pavlik has. He's like a freakin horse with blinders on. You move to the side and you're invisible to him.Comment

Floyd would have just about everything over Pavlik, with the exceptions being reach and power.
It's a winnable fight, but I highly doubt his ability to take a flush right hand from Pavlik, because eventually, one or two would land.Comment

I dont think Floyd could avoid a right hand in 35 minutes of ring time.If Pavilk lands something decent he fight is over. But its a big if. He would have to chase Floyd a bit in this one.

A belt at 160 would make Floyd's legacy look that much better. Its a dangerous fight if something goes wrong though.Comment
