Pav would waste Jokeobs. Pav vs Golov is the true question. It used to look like a fight Golov would win, but now I really dunno. I do know that Kelly would hit Golov a lot. Not only with power shots, but with his jab.
It's not debatable considering Pavlik won the title from a better version of Jacobs in Taylor. Danny Jacobs all of a sudden is vastly overrated. So much credit for LOSING.
Oh ok. Well, that clears it up. X has declared Jacobs is not as good as Taylor. And since Pavlik beat Taylor, we know what that means. :: Overrated? Because he stands a chance against Pavlik? Who the hell did Pavlik ever beat besides Taylor? You have this weird impulse to either put fighters on a pedestal and pretend their other worldly, or to completely write them off as bums. And to do so, you have to draw all these nonsensical conclusions like that having a chance to beat Kelly Pavlik of all people is some kind of bridge too far for a guy who just went tooth and nail with GGG.
Golov looked a lot flatter last Saturday than a prime Pavlik. I don't think much of Jacobs or his "skills" and Saturday didn't do much to affect my opinion. I think prime Pavlik would walk Jacobs down and stop him. And yes, I think Jermain Taylor was a better fighter than Jacobs.
Well Ok. But it is one thing to say you favor Pavlik to win. It's another to act like picking Jacobs is crazy. I actually think Jacobs is better than Taylor. To me, Taylor was the more amateurish fighter of the two - relied on a lot of repetition and never really set up shots. He was hard to beat. No doubt. But I think ggg would've easily KO'd him, for example.
I'd take Pavlik over Jacobs at this point. He's rangy and sharp with the right. Not a lock though. Taylor was belting Pavlik around in the first fight. Golov would jab Pavlik's face in and knock him out.
