Pavlik wouldn't even get a hand on Jones let alone win. The difference in reflexes and hand speed would've been ridiculous. Jones would've seen every punch coming a mile away.
Tsss- I say a prime Montell Griffon beats Pavlik let alone Roy. NOBODY beats prime roy at in the 60#s
Roy would take him out in a couple of rounds! Look what Taylor did to Pavlik and he isn't nearly as fast or powerful as roy at 160.
Jones would win by murder. JT hurt Pavlik bad in the 2nd and Jones jr's power at 160-168 is probably top 5 or so ever. Roy at that weight in his prime is MUCH faster, More power, better reflexes, better umm everything than Pavlik. Jones at 160-168 = god with gloves hehe
If Jones had fought Pavlik none of us would have heard of him. He just would have been one of those guys Jones murdered, winning every round without really getting hit very much. If he'd been about in the Hopkins/Toney era, you guys think he would have been able to keep that company? The guy has ONE great win over a suspect champ who was weight-dropping and appeared to run out of steam. He needs three years of wins and some serious intangibles before it's sensible to compare him to ATG legends like Jones.
And it's the second time i've said it in two days in identical threads...these Pavlik guys just need to calm down. I hope he does well, i like the guy and he comes to fight, but it's been a bit excessive in here today and yeserday.
yea he has a ton of work to do to be mentioned in the same breath as a Jones, Hopkins or Toney. Pavlik is gonna have to move to 168 or eventually 175 to get the big fights that he's gonna need we'll see if that happens or not. I also even though i was pro Taylor enjoy watchin Pavlik
