Mayweather would shut Pavlik out

I don't think Mayweather can do it even tho PW could. Understand please, it's basically a question in limits of size, not in terms of skill alone. There is a border, a line where and if you pass it, you can't perform as well whether b'cause your body gets too tight or your feet get to heavy or your opponent's punches get too heavy. I have seen close that Hoya-Mayweather fight and Floyd was definitely strong and packed a good punch at 154 but he was smaller and he couldn't challenge Hoya physically... Pavlik is bigger and longer and lose at 160 pounds whereas Floyd would have to absorb punches and not just take em, roll with his punches and side step, shoulder roll all fight long. Not possible.

 

I'm sure your man would be happy enough to continue calling out and claiming he's getting ducked by another welterweight, instead of taking on some real challenges at 160 or getting his arse-whopped at 168 by his daddy Bute.

 

Is this thread for real? I don't know why I am even entertaining such a stupid thread but I'm, here now so I might as well/

People somehow automatically assume Pavlik is some bum that any decent defensive boxer can easily handle now that he has lost to future HOF'er Hopkins.
Hopkins is a bigger fighter than Pavlik and stylistically very awkward.

Pavlik punches as hard as any of the super middle's, has a tremendous work rate and has a ridiculous size advantage over Floyd.

Pavlik's chin is solid too, none of Floyd's counters will bother him whatsoever.

Add all this on top of Pavlik's relentless work rate and Floyd Mayweather Jr will be out for the count within six rounds. Pavlik has KO'd almost everyone he has fought at MW, you think he won't be hurt a WW? It's absurd.

 

Kelly came into his most recent camp at 185 from added upper body muscle. Reportedly he has more snap in his punches now than he has had in a while. He is a "solid 185" according to reports. He wouldn't have to land many.

 

This above all else. We would see a repeat of Floyd and his entourage's exit after the 'event' where he 'broke' Big Show's nose. Running would take on new meaning and Uncle Roger would be standing ringside with a 45 trying to bounce bullets off of Kelly's ass to prove Kelly was taking a-side meth.

 

You keep deserving it over and over. :yep

 

Fine. Go start an e-petition to have Floyd call Kelly out. Make it soon. He'll be moving up. I doubt Floyd shares your confidence. As I say in each of these seemingly monthly threads, if Floyd thought he could take Kelly's lineal championship, he would do so. I haven't heard him EVER mention Pavlik. End of. Your delusions aren't Floyd's delusions.

 

I just love striking nerves. :yep

 

How about another strike, like a Kelly Pavlik strike, where you acknowledge other boxers.

 

Pavlik will undeed lose respect for Mayweather's punching power at 160 above and that I recognize to be the most striking thing in this match. You have to make your opponent back up a step to keep on outworking him with moves and feints as well. If you don't throw punches, I mean not only scoring shots, your opponent will go thru your punches and overpower you, stabbing you to the chest, slamming on your arms, shoulders and eventually catch you with that one blow. Floyd did make Hoya think his way in when he whipped him hard in between Oscar's attacks. Kelly wouldn't back a step if Floyd couldn't hurt him and I don't think he could.
