    McClellan knocks the easy to hit Pavlik into another stratosphere. Total blowout. McClellan KOs Pavlik in 3 or less. May not last one if Gerald gets him right.

    McClellan might stop him in the first round. Doesn't go 3.

    While I agree that G-man stops Pavlik, I think you guys are selling Kelly's toughness short saying it ends in 1 or 2.

    I think it would be a back and forth war with Gerald eventually winning in 6 or 7.

    Pavlik weathers an early storm, almost getting stopped, recovers, pushes McClellan to his back foot, and scores a mid-late rounds TKO.

    ^^^^^^ Agree....This is what I would call the most likely scenerio.

    Pavlik was a BIG middle.......even bigger than Benn who did a number on McClellan......Pavlik aint no chinny under sized Hawk.

    I take Pavlik in a war.

    Yes. Kelly could punch and get the respect he would need to get through the early rounds.

    Pavlik was tough, but he was a slow starter. Gerald in his time was the fastest starter in boxing next to Tyson, he stops Pavlik in 1 or 2.

    Typical Pavlik, determination. would keep coming forward and slowly the tide would turn because of his 1-2 and steady hook. love the way he keeps coming at guys like taylor and miranda. his pressure was super effective without being careless and ridiculous (other than dropping his hands in rnd 2 of taylor 1 fight)
