Pavlik has power, limited boxing ability. But a move up in weight class should be a good move for him, as boiling to middle may have been hindering him. What weight was his fight with hopkins at?
At Light Heavy I would say Cleverly. I Pavliks only performance there was shite. People make too much of what he was at Middle. It's not the same thing.
Cleverley all the way at 175, Pavlik was good as the bigger man at 160, but at 175, he'd be dwarfed and would be a sucker for Clevs movement and newly found punch power. Only ppl wanting nookie with a trailer trash nympho would say otherwise.
Pavlik was 169 for Hopkins, he was 174 on fight night. I'd favour Cleverly to win on points, but needs to tighten up on the defence, shipped too many punches for my liking against Brancalion
There is no way to call this accurately, Cleverly has never faced anybody that can punch with power. His defence can be sloppy so its nearly impossible to be sure how he stands up to Pavlik even if he's capable of outboxing him.
How would you rate Pavlik's power at 175? (Surmising of course) He's got heavy hands at 160, but not major one punch power, I can't see him hurting many people at 175.
