The Pavlik of now would get KO'd or the fight would be stopped. Pavlik in his prime would be a much harder fight...idk who would have won. I'll be rooting for Pavlik either way.
Froch can box on top of cracking harder than Pavlik at 168. I think he wins convincingly, maybe even by KO.
Speculation is pointless rght now. I'd rather wait and see who Pavlik fights on May 7th, and how he looks at the time.
Yea beating a club fighter in Vera will prove if Pavlik is back or not. Regardless Froch will tko Pavlik in the late rounds.
Taylor was killing himself to make weight vs Pavlik back at 160 pounds in the first fight (I making excuses cause obviously booradley is still making excuses as to why Martinez beat Pavlik). In the rematch at 166 pound catchweight, Pavlik barely got by Taylor in the rematch. <<<In which the same supermiddleweight division, Froch ko Taylor.
If Taylor can drop Froch then Pavlik sure can. Pavlik at his best would be the best middleweight in the world including the 'invincible' Sergio Martinez. Froch comes forward too one-dimensionally and openly to win this one, especially by knockout. Pavlik has knocked out 32 of the 36 men he has defeated and has a very, very good chin. If Pavlik was in the right mindset then I have no doubts he could beat Froch. However, given his recent troubles, it could go either way, exciting match-up.
Well if Taylor can beat Hopkins then Pavlik should do the same. <<<Oh wait that didn't happen cause Hopkins beat Pavlik in a shut out lololol. Dude style makes fights. Taylor throws faster punches then Pavlik so i doubt Pavlik can drop Froch. And besides Froch wasn't even hurt when Taylor knock him down.
