    Anybody think Pavlik can't beat Mosley or Mayweather?

    I don't mean to kick dirt on the guy by making a thread like this. But it's still a fair question. I think Pac might be a different story since Pavlik towers over him so much, but I really do think Mosley has the strength to make up for the lack of size to maul and bully Pavlik around like he did with Margarito before busting him up with combos. And Mayweather would out box Pavlik as well by pot shotting him and lateral movement.

    Martinez is big and has pop. Mayweather is just too small and doesn't have any ability to keep Pavlik away, and Mosley has already proven he isn't the same at 154, let alone 160.

      From the start, I said Mayweather can outbox Pavlik. But last night Pavlik was 178 and Martinez gassed because of having to deal with that overall size, I really don't know anymore. As for Mosley, clinching someone that big isn't gonna be easy, so I wouldn't pick Mosley to beat Pavlik; no way. Atleast Mayweather has his legs to fall back on, can't say the same for Mosley. In my opinion, Clottey has the perfect style to beat Pavlik but he doesn't throw enough.

        The size disparity with Mayweather and Pavlik I would favor Kelly just slightly, and considering Mayweather is no Martinez I don't see Floyd putting on the same clinic.

        As for Shane, I think the same could be said regarding size because even at 154 he didn't hit with conviction ala 147.

          Mayweather doesn't have the pop to discourage Pavlik, I agree. He'd have to cut him like Sergio did to stop his momentum. But I think Mosley is a bad style match up for Pavlik. Mosley hits a lot harder than Martinez does.

            i think floyd beats him, but mosley is more interesting. mosley likes to ****, and even though he has a clear hand speed advatage i can see pavlik landing some bombs on em and khtfo.

              Sometimes you amaze me with this ****. He comes in close to 180 and is 6"2. Give it a rest ****.

                I think Pavlik would definitely beat Mosley. Mosley isn't exactly hard to hit and I'd have to think that at some point Pavlik would lay hands on him consistently and hurt him.

                I could, however, see Mayweather fighting Pavlik and not getting hit, not a single time clean, in the entire fight and winning a decision and actually if the two did fight in the immediate future, I'd probably actually pick Mayweather to win.

                  Mosley wasn't a big puncher at 154 what makes you think he would hit harder at 160?
