    Beats all of them except the top 4. (I'm just guessing, haven't seen much of Campillo and rest)

    I'd make him even vs Johnson and Cloud. I'd favor Dawson, Pascal, Campillo, and Hopkins over him by varying amounts, and favor Pavlik over the rest.

    Interesting. I would have him losing most of these. I think Tavoris would bludgeon him. Chris Henry might also, though Pavlik would hit him a lot(Henry cannot slip or block a punch to save his life) Henry hits VERY hard for a 175lber (same thing with Tavoris). I haven't seen Murat. I think he'd have a shot against Mack. I wouldn't touch Jones even if he's shot to ****.

    I'd actually like to see a Hopkins rematch. I think it would be a much different fight this time around.

    I do think it'd be a closer affair as well.

    Cloud vs. KP would be a good fight. Both are entertaining fighters who come to bang. This would give KP a benchmark on where he stands at 175lbs.

    pavlik would lose to most of those guys on the list... but i'd like to see him fight glenn johnson... that'll be a good fight that i see johnson just totally roughing pavlik up and beating him on points...

    It would definately be an intriguing fight as both are high volume punchers. My main concern for Kelly in this fight would be how well he carries his power up. Tavoris hits like you owe him money.

    Yep. A healthier, stronger Pavlik probably stops the old man. I'd have to agree with you.

    What does B-Hop have to gain by rematching a guy he toyed with in 12-0 shutout? You Pavlik groupies are complete jokes.

    I edited to add a couple names to the list, Zsolt Erdei lineal LHW champion dropped his cruiserweight belts to continue at LHW and Danny Green is a 180lb. cruiserweight who was trying to score a LHW fight with Hopkins.

    Dawson would put on a CLINIC against Pavlik. That's the kind of big fight Bad Chad needs to get. He deserves more recognition than he has. He's REALLY good, but nobody ever mentions him.
