    Unless they bring pressure, a good punch, relentless workrate and a solid chin...like Andrade, Johnson...

    Me too. I briefly speculated that someone had hijacked his account.

    The writing style is Decebal's but the sentiments expressed are a little unDecibalesque.

    Yes, this is a very easy pick. Dawson will give him a boxing lesson, and give the fans a display of expertise that they will not appreciate.

    If you want an exciting fan friendly fight you have to match guys like Pavlik with Diaconu. It will be a demolition derby while it lasts.

    Why would Pavlik brawl with Johnson? Neither are natural brawlers. Taylor made Pavlik brawl, remember? Johnson doesn't have the stamina and workrate, nor the style to brawl. Pavlik would use the jab to keep himself on the outside and hit Johnson with the right. Fairly wide UD. That punch from Taylor would have put almost everyone down. Miranda also packs quite a punch, you know... If Dawson came in to brawl, Pavlik would nail him. Dawson has NO head movement and stands there to be hit, quite often. Pavlik doesn't need a great chin not to be hurt by Dawson. Dawson's power is really nothing to write hime about. He is effective because of speed, workrate and precision punching combos, not because of power. Very unlikely that Dawson would put Pavlik down. In any case, he couldn't finish him. Pavlik would definitely finish Dawson once he would get him in trouble.

    :lol:

    Here we go again.

    I'll give you credit for overrating Dawson and putting Diaconu down in the same post, even though this fight has nothing to do with Diaconu.:yep

    We're going around in circles here, dude.

    We'll leave here.

    To paraphrase Yogi Berra:

    Predictin' is a risky business, especially if it's about the future !

    :lol: :good

    Yeah...we cannot agree on a couple of things:

    1. Dawson's tactical discipline/decision-making
    2. Dawson's chin and power
    3. Dawson's concentration/mental strength
    4. Pavlik's equivalents/

    Hopefully we'll get these answers soon.:good

    It is not always certain who will win when two punchers enter the ring. However, it is certain it will be exciting while it lasts. Dawson, a pure boxer, was silly enough to try to slug it out with Johnson. He would never make that mistake with punchers like Pavlik or Diaconu.

    I don't see how Pavlik would dominate a man 2 full weight classes above him. If its that easy why is he starving himself to make middle weight. The more i read these post on this sight the more i realize most of the people here don't really box at all. Some of these post are just ******ed

    It's not that simple. Johnson took the fight to Dawson and eventually Dawson had to slug it out because he couldn't move away the entire fight. Pavlik will get to Dawson at some point in the fight just like Johnson did.

    I got dawson by Ko or UD. Dont know wat yall are talkin about. If jermain taylor was able 2 catch him and almost ko him in one fight. then in the 2nd fight land shots on him the way he did. You think dawson who is the more skilled fighter wouldnt b able 2 land on him or potentially ko pavlik. 6 months 2 get ready, i think dawson would train 2 b weary of pavliks right hand,, other than that wat else he needs to worry. Pavlik not outboxing him. All dawson g2 do is b conceous of the right hand and he is str8.
