Yeah he got put down by JT (I don't remember Miranda knocking him down) but that was an accumulation of blows from a great combo, which he easily recovered from.

GGG might win but it wouldn't be a cake walk. He'd have to eat a ton of hard leather himself to get the W.
If I remember right pavlik was bein overly cocky and stuck his chin out like an idiot and that led to the kd
You're right. Pavlik may not have been dropped if he wasn't messing around sticking his chin out. Showed abit of inexperience there but usually always shows good punch resistance.

If he were to meet Golovkin his feet would need to be a lot quicker and if he wasn't able to land something big early on if would be a pretty brutal beating for him. It's hard to picture anyone bullying Pavlik but I think that's the way it would go with GGG wearing him down round after round and forcing a stoppage.
