Prime Kelly Pavlik vs George Groves.

[The Theory]

Sounds interesting, who thakes it?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Would be entertaining but pavlik would walk over him late like froch did.. He might not stop him if it's at 168, but I think Pavlik would be clear winner

This is nonsense. Why do people have such a hard time accepting that Groves is class. He would put Kelly to sleep. Easy fight for Groves

When had pavlik ever been stopped, let alone put to sleep... I'm not saying groves is bad, just that he doesn't possess the skill set to nullify pavlik's attack. Both guys would get hit a lot, I just think pavlik throws straighter shots and would get more flush hits in, plus he has the better jab

Groves is a mover, look at his Degale fight anyone who has seen Pavlik fight knows he has no answer to angles and movement Hopkins/Martinez movement confused him so badly. Great lateral movement from Groves also Pavlik looked bad at every fight above 160 even his rematch against Taylor he wasn't as good. Assuming the fight is at 168 Groves could never make 160.

Groves wins easily. Pavlik is good against come forward guys or guys who like to engage in them middle of the ring.

did pavlik ever do anything at 168? he was the man at 160

Prime Kelly Pavlik vs George Groves.

Prime Pavlik was at 160. At 160 Pavlik wins,I am not so sure how 168 suits him. I just don't see Groves coping well with the constant pressure especially as the fight moves into the later rounds.
The pre Hopkins Pavlik had huge self belief. It took all of Hopkins know how to neutralise him. I just don't feel Groves has the same tools in the bag to do a similar number.

Groves has decent movement but he couldn't get out of the way of frochs shots down the stretch.. I think the same thing would happen vs pavlik...
