Prime Pavlik vs Golovkin of now

[oakleyno1]

Who wins!? Pavlik when he beat Miranda, Taylor & Lockett or Golovkin who's just beaten Stevens & Macklin ?

It's a pick em for me!

[ross]

Id pick Pavlik.

Stevens hit Golovkin plenty but I doubt he had the weight of punch that Pavlik does he also doesn't have his strength or will to win.

Pavlik was a deceivingly good fighter. He looked slow and basic but he was strong and had good fundamentals and if Golovkin did move up and face Froch he would find out somewhat what it would have been like to face Pavlik.

Golovkin doesnt move his head, his power is intimidating fighters to perform but even Stevens who was beaten by Brinkley was encouraged to throw against him. Its just a stregth advantage like Abraham had. Remember what everyone thought of Abraham before he moved to supermiddle and that to me is Golovkin.

Golovkin may fare just as baddly as abraham did if he moved up to supermiddle but that's because I think he's already an undersized middle not due to their similarity of styles. I don't think golo and abraham are at all alike in their style. Golo has yet to rely on his power to bail him out, its not like he looses rounds being outboxed and then lands a hail mary punch like abe had a tendency to do. I would have loved to have seen this and and would have been epic probably.

Abraham and Golovkin are nothing alike aside from having power imo, in fact the way Stevens fought Golovkin was more of an Abraham approach. GGG has a good workrate considering his poise, he creates his own openings behind the jab and doesn't give rounds away.

I think Pavlik was willing to sponge too many punches in order to make his own point and Golovkin is levels above with just more gears. He can fight behind the jab to set up body work and the way Pavlik had to set up shop first would work bad against him and keep Kelly on his heels big time.

Agreed!

[Fenster]

The GGG-Abraham comparison is weird. They fight nothing alike. Pavlik might have had success forcing him onto the backfoot. But remember Taylor had Pavlik stumbling all over the shop like a pisshead. Exciting fight whilst it lasts before Pavlik is ironed out.

Golovkin seems to be getting a bit of stick over the Stevens fight, but it was Stevens who went into his shell, if GGG had got a bit reckless and then splattered by one of those big lefthooks there'd be a hundred "I told you he was a hype job" threads

[jon09]

I'm still not completely sold on GGG. I think Pavlik was a beast and broke down fighters that wanted to stand in front of him. Pavlik by knockout in a bloody battle.

Pavlik would fuck his shit up.. GGG needs to stop speaking english cuz he sounds rubbish.. Good boy Good boy sounds fuckin retarded.

Prime Pavlik would kill his ass

You are wrong, Sir. GGG would do the same thing to Pavlik that he did to Stevens.
I do agree that he should talk through an interpreter. He sounded bad, but showed a set of testes you don't see every day, in the attempt.

Great matchup. I think Golovkins work rate would carry him to victory. But, he's never tasted power like Pavliks right hand. Pavlik could box a bit too as evidenced by the second Taylor fight.
