    #5 I give Bute and Joe a chance of winning just not that big of a chance. Hello, Mcfly if I give em a chance it entails winning:nut
    #3 Prime Hopkins has a helluva a chance and I wouldnt be surprised to see a UD for Hopkins(prime)
    Cupping Pavliks sack? Exciting imagery for you I'm sure:lol:

    I see you have no answers to points 1, 2, 4 or 6.

    Until you give acceptable answers for these points you have officially been owned.

    RealIZM - Your credibility is gone if your answer is just a simply 'yes' to points 1,2,4 and 6.

    Goodbye.

    A prime Winky Wright vs Pavlik, I would see as a close fight. But the Winky that Pavlik would face now is not even close to prime.

    And that's how it may go for round 1. But as Pavlik turns up the heat and loses all respect for Winky's punching power he'll start coming forward faster than Wright can get away and start cutting off the ring. His straight punches will start breaking through Wright's guard and he'll use body shots to slow Winky down. After a couple more rounds Wright (who I felt gassed out at the end of the Hopkins fight ) will begin to have stanima issues and will slow down further. At which point Pavlik will crush him.

    AA is an intelligent fighter. Using defense to keep Miranda from hurting him but letting the Colombian win the first few rounds before putting him down with a few choice shots was the perfect strategy to use against a low skill power puncher. When it comes to fighting styles Winky is almost Miranda's polar opposite. Winky is a defensive master who is far too savy to be drawn into such a trap but punching power and stanima issues. King Arthur would adjust his fighting strategy to match.

    Calzaghe would be a close fight too. Yes CAlzaghe is often a slapper ( and against Pavlik he'd be a fool if he fought using any other style ) but with his tremendous hand speed and pretty good stanima he's perhaps the best slapper in boxing.

    I see it quite different from you, I think Kessler can be way to tentative to beat Pavlik, i think as soon as Pavlik lands a hard shot Kessler will be going back the whole fight and losing a somewhat wide UD in the region of 117-111 or getting stopped late
