I agree roy would dominate pavlik. I mean let's give pavlik a chance to see if he is for real. we all knew jermain wasn't no roy so let's see if pavlik can be at least as good as calzaghe.
It isn't too often we agree but we definately do here. Young Roy circa 1990s was one in a million. Won't be another one of those for a very very long time. Roy Jones wins this by KO, round 1 or 2 or 3, depending on his mood.
The man asked about PRIME Roy Jones. Prime Roy Jones stops Pavlik at nearly any round of his choosing. Y'all musta forgot Montel. Roy usually fought a safe, and conservative style. But in the second Montel fight he was angry and predicted a first round KO. He then went out and threw caution to the wind, and in round one, devastated Montel (who had TWO victories over a prime James Toney) with a single left hook from a very unusual angle, that sent him spasming into never-never land. Roy hit harder than Kelly could dream of. He had ONE PUNCH KO power in both hands.

Of course he could have done the same thing to Taylor. Watching a shot Roy at the end of his career must have erased the memory of what he was like in his prime. I can't believe how many are picking Pavlik in this match-up.
