Prime Pavlik vs Carl Froch

[Earl-Hickey]

Depends really, Pavlik is underrated I think, he has good defense but Froch also underrated and he can adapt but power edge goes to Pavlik. Would be fantastic fight if it happened.

at 168?

i dont think pavlik has any power at 168

Everybody likes come forward guys that get the knockout. May not be the most skilled of the boxers. But it does provide excitement to the fans. I'm going with Froch mainly because Kelly is unproven at super middleweight. He did his best work at middleweight. It would be a battle of the jab which I think Froch would win.

Toss-up. Pavlik can't deal with slick fighters, footspeed or inside fighters. He fights at range.....luckily for him so does Froch, who also can't operate inside. This is similar to Jermain Taylor.....Taylor had success against Froch...no reason Pavlik wouldn't. I actually favour Pavlik slightly. I'd be very confident taking Pavlik over Abraham...even now.

Styles make fights.......Pavlik's people need to be slapped in the face. They threw him in with Hopkins, ok fair enough it proved a mistake in hindsight, but then they put him in with Martinez. They should have moved to 68 and chased favourable or nuetral style matchups against Kessler, Froch and Abraham.

Pavlik would be coma'd by abraham, pavlik is immobile.

Froch would absolutely murder Pavlik.

would he really??.......think about how Froch fights, and then how Kelly fights. They both like to fight from range with the jab.

Pavlik would be coma'd by abraham, pavlik is immobile.

Srthur is less mobile and against an immobile opponent Pavlik can throw 80-100+ per round. Also he has power, the kind that gets through a guard. I'd favour Pavlik, and take the under....whoever wins the fight doesn't go past 6 or 7 IMO.
