    i know pavlik's a good kid, common. can't see any of the 160 crew beating him tbh.

    andrade at 168 though, nasty business.

    Was it not the ESB esteemed poster PlugInBabies who once said: "I always question the motives of the thread starter on threads like these"?? Or am I incorrect in that assessment?

    Bring that clumsy ****er on!! Just because he didn't get KO'd by Kessler and he beat the ATG Stieglitz, I don't see where people are suddenly so sold on the Jack In the Box fast food manager.

    benn had massive flaws, especially at 160. i just don't see KP turning down a gunfight and in thay sort of situation back benn to the hilt.

    You need a damn good chin like Eubanks, Collins and Watson's too even stand a chance of surviving against Benn, in his prime he chin checked everyone. Despite Pavliks size and reach he isn't anywhere near polished enough to out box Benn over 12 rounds and would undoubtedly stand and brawl with the dark destroyer. Big mistake!

    I think Pavlik would do ok early on and may even hurt Benn but that would only make Benn more dangerous. I'd be suprised to see Pavlik last more than 6 rounds.
