    We don't know about that just yet until Provodnikov has fought again, but the first two seem to be conclusive "yeses".

    Hopkins vs Pavlik

    Pavlik never loses to Martinez if he never faced Hopkins. Sometimes a humbling loss can mess up a guys focus for good, and send a guy down a path of self destruction. The Pavlik that beat Miranda, and Taylor, would have pressured and KO'd Martinez.

    That wasn't Khan though. That was the Matthysse fight, it took a lot out of Garcia imo.

    Brutal fight all round.

    I'd guess yes, but it's a bit too early to make the call on Groves yet.

    Nah. It was the cut(s) that damned Pavlik - and he was just as likely to get shredded up with or without having faced Hopkins.

    Remember, that was done early by a Martinez counter left hand - a weapon he never had any trouble landing on Pavlik (and wouldn't ever, conceivably, in any hypothetical meeting between them, ever, given Martinez's unorthodoxy and edge in hand speed and Pavlik's frontfoot defense being not exactly buttoned down tight) and one that Pavlik just wasn't using to seeing, period - the last southpaw he fought was Bronco McKart, eleven bouts prior.

    He was as unused to facing the adversity of a cut as he was to facing an elite southpaw - or, for that matter, a very skilled outside boxer (the only guys in Martinez's league Pavlik had previously seen being Hopkins & Pavlik) - and he couldn't find a way to rise above that. Nothing to do with Hopkins.
