    Yeah mate thats why I put it out there. Thanks for the reply.

    At first I sided with Pavlik but the more I think about Collins, his style and his resume it makes this a tough call. Especially at middle.

    Collins was also a better boxer than some people think with fast hands-see the McCallum, Pyatt fights. Collins by decision.

    I'd take Collins to outmaneuver, outspeed, and outhustle him to a decision.

    collins . too tough for pavlik. the guy was pretty much impossible to hurt . and take out pavliks main advantage, his power, and what have you got left ?

    This. Collins has a little more dimension to his game.

    Collins would have outhustled Pavlik I believe..wins a decision. Collins was smarter and stronger than the harder punching but limited Pavlik.

    Unfair to dig up an almost 3 year old thread.

    Collins of course was on a different level.

    I think Collins wins it in this thread.
