Pavlik v. Dawson at 168, if both had 6 months to prepare; who wins?

Whom are you picking?

 

Have you checked your answer with the woo before answering?:think

 

This fight is actually very easy to pick.

 

Precisely. Pavlik couldn't lose this one...simply couldn't lose!

Jab would find Dawson all night; his right cross would make a hole in Dawson's head. Dawson's pitter-patter would just tickle Pavlik and if he tried to brawl, Pavlik would stop him even faster.

Yeah, Pavlik doesn't have great angles, footwork, defence or that much speed. But that very good one-two and just slightly less than very good chin would be enough to stop Dawson with.:good

Of couse, styles make fights. Calzaghe would have a harder time against Dawson than against Pavlik. Higher chance of stopping Dawson though...But that doesn't mean Pavlik wouldn't beat Dawson...

 

Dawson has a 20% chance at best...not more, I would say. Pavlik would just come forward and walk through Dawson's pitter patter. Even if Dawson won the first couple of rounds, eventually, the pressure would get to him and he'd break. This is an easy pick. Dawson loses to quite a few people at 168 and 175.

 

Dawson has more power than Pavlik at 168?:yikes :yikes :yikes

The mark of a nuthugger; caught'cha!:smooch

Dawson doesn't have Pavlik's mental strength and is worse at sticking with the right gameplan...Dawson cannot win this unless Pavlik really screws up.
