Prime Tito by convincing KO mid rounds 7-8. If Taylor puts Pavlik down, then Tito stops him. Taylor couldnt put Winky/Spinks/Ouma down but he put Pavlik down. Taylor just isn't that good and still nearly beat Pavlik. Taylor got 2 gift decisions against Spinks/Winky and arguably BHOPs (I thought he beat the ancient BHOPs) IS Pavlik a defense genius and boxing master now ???? Hes easy to hit and slow and against Tito thats a bad recipe. Tito would land his left hooks at will and his speed and athleticism combined with his killer instinct would put Pavlik out of business.
When is a Pavlik KO not brutal?:think They all pretty much look the same: Pavlik with a quick 1 2 stunning fighter, more pressure and a hellacious beatdown ensues...If he doesnt put the fighter to sleep with a headshot he puts them in AGONY with a bodyshot....So its brutal to the point where I feel bad for his opponent.. For the most brutal puncher in boxing check out Adrian Diaconu on Youtube..talk about feeling sorry for a fighter I threw a ****ing towel at the tv before the ref stopped the fight against Hoye
Tito would have a chance here , he cant be ruled out because of the Hopkins fight . B-hop was just too clever for him . Tito definitly has a puncher's chance , look what he did to Joppy , and look what happend in the second round of Pavlik-Taylor. This means Pavlik can e hurt and Tito has good power at 160 . But i still think Pavlik , but this can go either way easily
This would be a great match up. Can someone say Hagler/Hearns part 2? This would be a match up of two locomotives in a head-on collision course. Tito and Pavlik would batter each other senseless until one of them fell. Unfortunately for Tito, but Pavlik's height and reach coupled with his power would most likely spell a brutal downfall for the hero from Puerto Rico. But I would pay to see it.
i want to wait and see what else pavlik can accomplish a knockout over Jermaine Taylor & Miranda was great but he's got to continue to perform well against elite comp.....Jermaine Taylor is a sucker for a right hand ! That is pavlik hardest punch !
You would have to favor Pavlik due to his superior power. Both guys can bang, both guys get hurt and dropped and both guys usually get up. Trinidad is the better boxer and has faced more elite fighters, but I picture Pavlik winning by KO in a very good fight. I see both guys getting hurt and dropped, (Pavlik most likely getting dropped early and getting up), with Pavlik bringing the heat in rounds 6-9 and stopping a game Trinidad.
