I started this as a spinoff of the Margarito vs. Pavlik thread. To me, this would be the much more intriguing fight, and much more competitive fight. How do you guys see this one playing out?
I see us getting excited as hell for it and then at the last moment...... Pavlik pulls out again for some injury.
assuming he can get to 160 and his head is right, neither of which i'm confident in anymore...kelly would destroy him in a very entertaining fight.
Margarito is superior in almost every way but one punch power then Angulo. Pavlik beats Marg 10 out of 10.... Pavlik stops Angulo brutaliy in a one sided affair 10 out of 10. No contest IMO..... I dont really care to see Pavlik vs anyone whos not a middleweight. Pavlik vs Pirog, Pavlik vs Sturm, Pavlik vs David L, Pavlik vs Bute, Pavlik vs some of the super six guys when they are done, those are competetive fights, hard fights, for Pavlik. Bringing up straight forward fighters with bad defences up from 154 will spell doom every time IMO.
I wanna see a 4 man tourney! Pavlik, kirkland, angulo and margs!!! That would be epic.... 4 brawlers with balls the size of jupiter!!!!
Take Pavlik out and put in Omar Henry, and it would be epic. Pavlik shouldnt even be discussed with those names. Seriously, we are talking about a guy who struggles to make middleweight, and who should probably be at super middle, in against 154lbers. Omar Henry James Kirkland Margarito Angulo would be epic.... whats crazy is Henry is a killer like Kirkland, and Angulo and Margarito are similar to eachother as well. Would be sick.
It wouldn't be competitive at all (but still more competitive than Pavlik vs. Margarito). Kelly is much bigger than both Alfredo and Antonio. Couple that with how effective he is against other come-forward types and the fact that neither of them will have ever dealt with anything close to his power...it's a bit elementary. Unless you have Pavlik cutting down to 154 to meet either of them, both Margarito and Angulo get KTFO.
But it would be fun :deal I think Pavlik murders Kirkland and Angulo..... and Id rather see those two not get beat up by a guy they shouldnt be in the ring with size wise.
