Just wondered what you guys think? It would be another good name on Froch's record..
I'd Pick froch for a late K.O. I thought Hopkins had Pavlik in some serious trouble in there fight..

It's a 'pick em' but I'd lean towards Pavlik
Think even Froch has a chance to out box rinse & repeat Pavlik,but Kellys long straight power could get to Froch late.Not many dimensions to pick from in that one ;D.
I think I'd go for Pavlik, neither of them are that technically sound but I just reckon Froch would get hit too many times. Pavlik's chin is still proven whereas there's now doubts over Carl's, although I guess you could argue Pavlik may not have been in with a bigger puncher than Froch.
It would be a total slugfest and a great fight, I'd expect Pavlik to win by KO in the last third. But it depends which Kelly and which Carl come to the ring I guess.
Froch's probably sturdier but could Pavlik miss a right hand? And he'd be more consistent with it than Taylor, much more. I'd go with Pavlik although he could get KO'd.

And Pavlik was hurt far more than Froch was, he barely made it out of the third round.

agree that was a very strange comment
Id lean towards pavliks power getting the better of frochs style.
Froch-Bute = now theres a fight id like to see!!!!
Ok, I realise that sounds silly, but I just meant in the way that he's been hit more times by more world class opposition than Froch has and more often than not has still come out on top. Carl can't, at the moment, claim to have taken on the opposition Pavlik has. But it'd still be a very competitive fight I reckon, if there's any way it can happen at the moment with Abraham pulling at Pavlik.Quote:

opposition...NO
But an unbeaten pascal hit him with half a dozen monster shots and he took those as well as walking through taylors hook and overhands in the last round to insure he got he`s off!!
Pavlik.
Froch is tailor-made for him. Porous defense and susecptible to the over hand right.

You know what, you're right, I'm havin' an off day I think. One o those think before you speak moments. I'd still go for Kelly late round KO though.
Pavlik could make Froch look like Roy Jones. ;D
Good fight. Think Froch would prove to be too big and strong. Although he'd have to deal with Pavlik's righthand - not a cert.
Pick em for me..
Kelly can and would def land that right all night long though.

Pavlik would give froch nightmares and would throw 8-10 combos that would do a lot of damage.
Kelly is also a much more intelligent fighter than taylor
that alone is a bit of an absurd comment, seeing how Froch barely made it out of the 3rd himself, at least Pavlik was dropped early on in the round and managed to survive to then go on and stop Taylor, Froch had bout 30 seconds left in the round and Taylor didn't jump on himQuote:

i'd say it's the type of fight that either man can win, Froch and Pavlik alike are both open to the right hand, but mostly overhand rights, neither man really has an overhand right, i'd give Froch the slight edge cause he has a good upper and he could land it on Pavlik while in close, but i'd have to gie Pavlik the slight edge in power and accuracy
