This is a possibility sometime in the future. How do you see this one going? And can Pavlik prise Booradley from off his ballsack anytime soon?
Think it would be an intriuging matchup. Pavlik would loose his normal strength advantage but I think he's a better orthodox boxer than Froch. 50/50 at the moment for me.
I think Pavlik is very ordinary to be perfectly honest. Other than Taylor..... what genuinely top class 160lb'er has he beaten? Leave aside JT, his best win is over Miranda - WOW! Oh sorry.... I forgot Gary Lockett Britain's worst ever (and most embarrassing) world title challenger.
Pavlik is nothing beyond 168lbs. Froch by KO. Froch should have a fight in the UK and wait for Pavlik to come up. His camp are over confident about him. Froch can take big money fighting Pavlik
Interesting one but I would have to go for a Pavlik KO unless Froch can dramatically improve his defence by the time they meet.
Froch should make a career out of beating the North Americans. Ward, Dirrell (both of whom are likely to be mandatories soon anyway), Bute and Pavlik would all be great, winnable fights with at least one unification thrown in. The yanks would love it and his bank balance would be good enough to retire on with no financial worries ever again - all within two years.
Big big fan of Froch but as we've not really seen him in with a banger of Pavlik's quality I'm tempted to pick against him as he gets hit so much. That said, the Cobra has always done what he's needed to win, so quite possible that he will get used to Pavlik's pretty one dimensional style and make adjustments, throw some bombs around the sides of the guard and win the fight UD.
Pavlik has a good work rate but apart from that he is the style that Froch likes. Froch can sit back and counter. His sloppy work will land because Pavlik will be right there in front of him. Frochs strength and power will be telling in the long run, especially if Pavlik walks on to a big uppercut or something.
