    I'm picking Pavlik, I'm not sold on Janibek yet.

    Pavlik had a short prime but let's not forget how good he was during that period. He was tough as old boots, good jab, work rate, power. He'd stop Janibek.

    Prime Pavlik was really a beast at 160, still marvel at how he recovered from the KD against Taylor to come back and stop him. With Janibek being tight at the weight I think he might struggle and gas in the championship rounds and that is not a good proposition against prime Pavlik

    Pavlik would walk him down. What's the term, pressure bursts pipes? I think Pavlik was the definition of "educated pressure".

    Criminally underrated, Pavlik in his alcohol-truncated prime was a superb middleweight.

    He was tough, had a terrific jab (both as a range-finding and thudding instrument), a genuine lights out straight right, and could finish with the best of 'em.

    Pavlik stops Janibek late in a shootout.

    Pavlil was beastly in his short prime, alimkhamuly isn't that proven despite having 2 belts.

    alimkhanuly has been KO'd in the amateurs.

    Pavlik KO
