What was Benn's best win at 160? Barkley or maybe De Witt? He lost to the two best fighters he faced at that weight, both inside the distance. I'd take the Pavlik vs Miranda and the Taylor fights to survive the storm and stop Benn in about 10. Tentative pick though!
Wow, hell of a fight between two genuine middleweight punchers. I think Pavlik has the tools to outbox the middleweight version of Benn, but I think he would get dragged into a war. Benn had a way of winning wars, even when the odds seemed against him, and I think he would get off the canvas and stop Pavlik in the later rounds.
A tremendous match-up. With both fit and focussed (Kelly being sober) I will shade towards Pavlik's better technical work. Both were bombers and both had heart in spades. I would pay a ransom to watch this one.
This one's a toss-up. I'd bet that one of these guys ends up getting bombed out and brutally destroyed, but I'll be damned if I can figure out which one.
