But therein lies Abrahams chance in my opinion. Abrahams defense is pretty tight when he wants to be and against Pavlik he'd probably have his fists glued to his face and would be happy to lose rounds in order to wait for the opportunity to pounce on Pavlik as he came in.

Artur really can open up with devasting force when he needs to and I reckon he might just unleash one of his trademark flurries at just the right time and stop Pavlik in his tracks.

Don't get me wrong, Pavlik would be a big favourite in this fight but Taylor was able to hurt him and the last time Taylor knocked anybody out Barry McGuigan was still fighting.

Pavlik is by no means unbeatable.

I think if they do ever fight Abraham would get outworked down the stretch but I've always liked him so I'll stick with my prediciton and say Abraham with a shock KO.
Pavlik is great at threading the needle. Abraham would be overwhelmed IMO.
