I know people wont agree but pavlik hasn't fought top quality boxer with good boxing skill yet. He's a proper set boxer and he'll fight brawlers like miranda, taylor and hopkins. even though hopkins has skills he's old as hell. If he fights Dawson he'll be KO'd Dawson quicker faster and his style is made for boxing a Pavlik. Pavlik won't keep up with his foot speed and even though he's acurate he's only fight sluggers for right now Dawson counter shot would put Pavlik to bed.
