Would a prime Pavlik go through GGG's opposition in a similar matter?

yes, pavlik when prime was pretty good at MW and would have walked through 3gs opposition in a similar manner - but perhaps not at higher weights, as shown from his catchweight loss at 170lbs to old Hopkins. Whereas with 3G we as yet don't know how he would be if he moved up.

 

a drunk kelly pavlik has a better chance of doing it than a sober david lemieux...thats for sure

 

Then Taylor was a complete and utter bum, Maravilla was just slightly above bum status and B-Hop not being able to stop him while dragging him up 10lbs makes him terribily overrated.

Sometimes "fans" here make me sad :-(

Pavlik would have probably beaten all of them, but certainly not all as conclusive.

 

pavlik had tough war with rubio

 

CST

One has to admit things and i did not watch the bout ahahha


but it did not come close to the GGG domination of rubio

that i am sure of i dont even need to watch the fight for that

 

Every one of them.

He'd probably blow through GGG as well .

 

Similar matter: NO
Could he win those fighters in a given night? He would have a good chance
Could he defend his title as many times: NO
Could he make a similar winning streak? NO


I depends, which Pavlik we are talking about? If we are talking Pavlik who became champion, he would probably win and loose. He would have problems with Stevens (Power, Speed), Lemieux (Power, Speed) and even Proksa (Mobility).

The thing is, he was cutting weight a lot (size advantage played big part of his short success) and because of that, he didn´t fight that many fights at 160. His best performance was his first win against Taylor where he struggled hard. If Taylor can floor him, so can Stevens and Lemieux. Also, Pavlik made it a slug fest every time he could and therefore he was taking punishment way too much to defend his title 15 times.

 

kelly was a very good fighter but compared to GGG he was not that good

I disagree i just think its just the gulf of difference between GGG and pavlic

the same thing happened when Groves fought murray and went to the brink with him GGG fought murray without trying.

 

Pavlik would be prime for 30+ fights? lol

 

CST we had this back and fourth on this subject some time ago we will just go round in circles

Yes GGG might not have faced anyone on Pavs level but the same goes for Pav wouldn't you agree?

GGG would of stopped Pavlic late on he is to strong for him his jab alone would of caused issues and Pavlic was easily out boxed

Say i even agree with you and say GGG wouldnt of walked him down he could of easily outboxed him and not just that but with power behind his shots.
