Both on their best night. Who wins, and how?
I'd pick virtually every ATG middleweight to beat Pavlik without much trouble.
It's possible. As he showed in the Johannson rematch he was capable of unloading shots that would drop most people.
Patterson was better than Mercer in almost every way aside from chin. Floyd wins a clear decision, but get's dropped, and has some scary moments.

Frazier wins a UD, but Mercer has his moments in a very hard fought war.
Dempsey is the only clear favourite imo. And even then, I wouldn't rule out a Marciano victory.
