    No. The highest I think we will see Pavlik is at light-heavy.

    I know it has been mentioned, but I don't know if his frame could carry the weight well

    no way. Never happen. maybe LHW but I just cant see HW

    What would he be 210-220 max. I dont see how he could deal with guys 245-270.

    More chance of seeing him as a Light Welterweight

    He looked bad at 164 and people talk LHW and HW,he would be lucky to do some damage at SMW

    LHW the highest, maybe cruiser if he isn't hard hitting. I could see him take on a Cunningham or Adamek.

    maybe when he's in his late 30s because he gets lazy,but no he just doesn't have the frame to cope at hw and would get badly ko'd!
    he's fighting bhop at lhw and i think in 2-3 years this may be where his future is,titles are becoming less and less important these days and there simply isnt enough quality opposition at 160 that catch weight fights will become too regular!

    Oh yes, there are guys he could fight and win.... but challenge the top dogs of the HW division IMO is a bit of a reach
