    Pavlik at 160, although his power dwindles at any weight above that, so there's no clear way of telling.

    Kelly...Kelly has a nice right hand...Froch hasn't faced the level of competition that Kelly has!

    on a p4p scale pavlik but in reality its froch he's twice the size of kelly

    and ive never sparred with kelly but ive sparred with froch a few rounds down in the breffy house while he was preparing for paschall and dude layed me flat out and ive never been down in over 80 amateur fights or any of the thousands of sparring sessions ive had so from first hand expirence he hits ****ing hard

    Lets see. 168/160=1.05. Now of course those are weigh in results, but 5% does not equal 200% where I come from. :patsch

    froch walks around at about 190 he's huge for a super middle

    just look at the 2 of them there the same height but pavlik is thin froch isnt he's got broad shoulders and a big chest he would be suited well at lightheavy i doubt kelly would carry his power to 168

    but we'll see in april when froch does taylor in less then 4

    I doubt Froch walks around 190.I heard he makes 168 quite easy and is ones of the smaller SMWs.Kessler and Bute are visibly bigger and don't walk around 190.

    I think the Frochludites are going to be in for a bit of a surprise. With your boxing experience, you are telling me you can't see the difference in the boxing level of these two? You really think Taylor's jab in Froch's face won't have an effect? All I keep hearing over and over is Froch's power. Well, based on what I saw against Pascal, it isn't going to do him a whole lot of good because I just don't see him landing enough. He didn't put Pascal down and Pascal was a freaking windmill. LOTS of openings. LOTS landed. Taylor will land 4 times what Pascal landed, if he wants to depending on his game plan, and get hit about 1/4 as much.

    Incorrect. Carl Froch is just under 6"1. Pavlik is closer to 6"3. That's why he appears so thin.


    I highly doubt Froch walks in around 190.

    P4P power I'd go with Pavlik. In real terms - well, we'll have to wait and see :D :ko
