    This just might be the toughest fight out there for Pavlik. Who do guys think wins this fight?

    David "The Destroyer" Lopez? I think Abraham stand a few notches above him.

    Abraham style wise is made to order for Pavlik low work rate and fights off the ropes and he is short.
    On the other the 6'2 Lopez matches Pavlik in size plus Lopez is a southpaw can punch and has a high work rate.:deal

    I somewhat question David's ability to take a punch, so I'm not too sure he'd be able to stand up to Pavlik's right hand bombs. Plus, people like to question Pavlik's offensive variety, but just look at a guy like David Lopez. Really the only punches he ever throws are right jabs and left hands, and whenever he throws anything but a jab with his right hand he throws it as a very weak arm punch. So basically anything that David throws from the right sucks and lacks power.

    Well anyway, I think David would stand in there prety tough for a few rounds and give Kelly a few stylistic problems with that southpaw stance of his, but eventually he'd start getting caught with too many right hands and once that happens it won't be too long before he begins to topple.

    Pavlik by KO 6 over Lopez.
