    In a P4P sense, of course.

    Care to share a brief explanation of your reasoning?

    I could honestly see strong arguments being made a variety of ways on this one, juts curious to see how others perceive the matter.

    Yeah, tossed it around a bit, but can't get past that, to my eyes, Pavlik's the same now as he was in his pro debut. Well, better stamina, but that's about it.

    Lopez is the smaller fighter.

    P4P favors smaller fighters.

    Pavlik lost the only time he moved in weight.

    Dont care for P4P lists because of the above mentioned.

    Fan of all three, but I think Lopez will clearly separate himself from the other two...he is capable of winning titles all the way up to 130, maybe even 135...

    I'm also a fan of all 3, and I think it's interesting that the language you use speaks of the future--that Lopez WILL clearly pass the other two, but hasn't necessarily done so yet.

    It's a tough call. I think Lopez is the most complete fighter, and as PolishPummler said, P4P charts tend to favor smaller fighters.

    Still, right now, at this moment, I think they are approximately in the same ballpark in a P4P sense.

    Well, if Lopez was 40 pounds overweight, Pavlik could beat him at 160. :D

    That's the thing really, I subjectively chose an option that appealed to me. There are indeed a variety of arguments, but for myself this is where these guys are at currently. Adamek and Lopez are neck and neck, but my intuition pushed me to edge Lopez ever so slightly at this stage. Pavlik will rise again.

    I hope all 3 pugilists can have success in the near future. All fun to watch.

    Adamek is one of my absolute favorite fighters, but for now, I think I have to give Lopez the edge, and I think Pavlik trails him closely.

    I do think Adamek is a more complete fighter than Pavlik, much in the same way I think Lopez is more complete than Adamek.

    As much as I love Pavlik's style what he brings to boxing. He is defo the least skilled out of the three. + Adamek & Lopez are Red Hot right now, where as Pavlik is bubbling again. (After his defeat to B-Hop)
