If this fight happened who'd win? Froch isn't exactly a ballerina so wouldn't be able to use angles to beat pavlik ala Hopkins. Basically two guys throwing bombs; ouch!
Both in their peaks, I'd say Carl in a relatively close fight. In 8 months, well it depends on how Pavlik looks in his next fight, but if it was tomorrow.. I'd say.. Froch by murder.
Froch in a very close decision because he's been much busier than Kelly.. Kelly punks Froch in the rematch setting up the 3rd fight which is a toss-up...
Froch even he has lost his fire as seen on the photo on the promo with Bute. Kessler took most of his fire and Ward ended it.
There's no evidence thus far to prove Pavlik will be able to fight again at top level. None whatsoever. If he gets back to somewhere near his best,then it would be a good fight,but Pavlik hasn't had a really meaningful win at 168,so we still don't know if he can compete at SMW
The question is how easily he made that weight. His recent talk of Jr. and Martinez make me think he at least hasn't ruled out 160 at this point.
And you thought this why? Because you like to make **** up just so you can trash Pavlik to forget about your boyfriend Abraham? :yep
