Carl Froch V Kelly Pavlik

Froch is not as skinny as him at all.

 

I really don't know, both fighters still have things to prove at world level to me.

 

Pavlik is not a bad opponent for him. Questionable chin, pretty basic technical pressure with no frills, leaky defence. Not difficult to catch cleanly, which gives The Cobra a massive chance.

On the other hand his low hands are worrying as Pavlik is an accurate straight puncher. Also his laziness could be a problem when put under consistent pressure.

 

Pavlik is so over-rated on the General Forum it beggars belief.

They seem to forget that not only was he one clean shot away from a second round blowout loss against Taylor, that he was also losing the fight pretty handily until the seventh.

The low left could cause Froch a problem, but if that was rectified I would back him to beat Pavlik.

 

The fact they both wanna fight calzaghe perhaps:yep

 

Froch cannot be ko'd

I'm not sure if he'd win more than 2 rounds v Pavlik. Pavlik has way too much for him.

 

I really have not seen enough from froch to be able to judge who wins this fight just yet - lets see how both of their next fights turn out then it may become clearer.

 

I've voted Pavlik on points, BUT Froch has decent power and could cause KP some serious problems...more so than Lockett at least

 

Froch is a murderous puncher.

I'd take Froch to take Pavlik's '0' if they ever met.

I've never been overly impressed by Jermain Taylor and just because Kelly beat Taylor don't really get me erect.

Little Ouma closed Taylor's eye and Spinks, a welter, nearly outboxed him over 12.

 

Cark Froch is a wasted talented, why the **** does he fight every 10 years..

 

This would be a good fight. Kelly is the best middleweight around and Froch is a top 5 super middle so a fight between the two would be a must see.

 

this would certainly be a very interesting fight indeed one i have myself speculated many times before.


pavlik has the far greater work rate and is a very good accurate puncher with good power, and decent variation. However jermain taylor isnt the hardest puncher in the world and he very nearly knocked pavlik out. The fights with jermain also showed me that pavlik is not particuarly difficult to hit.

i am still unsure about froch, he has never really looked like losing and usually puts on a good performance which ends in a knockout, however he has never fought anyone close to pavliks level and due to him having low hands and being extremely lazy at times, he could find himself in alot of trouble


i see too possible outcomes for this fight.


either pavlik outworks froch and has him hurt, doesnt knock him out but goes on to win a reasonably easy UD


or froch knocks pavlik out reasonably early.



i think i favour the later
