2007 Kelly Pavlik vs Gennady Golovkin: Who Wins?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

I gotta go with ggg in a war.. I just think he is alittle more skilled and that will be the difference..

It would be a great fight

[#YOLO]

GGG stops Pavlik late. It would look similar to Matthysse-Molina with Pavlik having less knock downs but better quality work.

If pavlik didnt let his life spiral out of control this fight would probably be actually happening right now

Tough one...The Pavlik that fought Miranda was a beast. He knew going in if he could push Miranda back, he had it.

If he could do that against Golovkin, and make Golovkin feel pressure, you never know what could happen.

It it one of those fights that is fascinating to think about, but I would feel silly picking a winner. Too many intangibles and unknowns.

[A-Wolf]

Pavlik.

I'll reiterate.

[MRBOOMER]

Pavlik's height and reach would be a lot to over come not to mention he had a great chin great power and decent boxing skills. If ggg wins it's gonna be close and he'll prbly lose the first four or five rounds but he'll work the body tough to slow Kelly down later in the fight.

Currently rewatching Taylor vs Pavlik. What a great fight.

[Interloper]

GGG is a much better fighter than Pavlik, but I pick Pavlik via late rounds stoppage. He would back GGG up and tee off.

I have a hard time seeing Pav winning this...I can't think of anything Pavlik does better than GGG. GGG has also shown a very sturdy chin thus far. Good fun fight, but I think GGG eventually breaks him down.

Besides Taylor, I don't even think Pav's resume has anything on GGG's (worse until taylor I imo)

[TRTboy]

Pavlik get's good boy'd. Pavlik was a devastating puncher. GGG is a devastating puncher with a solid amateur pedigree.
