Ahhhh I see where you're coming from....... God forbid Eubank duplicate what B-Hop did.:laughing::laughing: C'mon Sly, be serious. Eubank outboxes Pavlik, punches holes in him and probably stops him. If it makes you feel any better...... PRIME Hopkins would have stopped Kelly within 9.
Nah, you don't know Eubank that well. Pavlik would have "Collins 2" Eubank. Eubank had poor workrate, couldn't reduce punch output consistently and atlthough he punched hard, Pavlik's chin would be able to withstand the majority of it.
For ONE...... Steve Collins was better than Pavlik. TWO..... those fights were at 168, and Eubank was faded. I mean the prime Eubank of the first Benn fight.
Ohhhh FUCK! Yeah, I did make a mistake actually. I meant 160. That only seems fair cause BOTH were prime at middleweight. Eubank STILL wins at 168 though. Kelly aint shit as a supermiddleweight.
Prime 160lbs Eubank vs 160lbs Pavlik. Hmmmmmm.......... T'would be a tough fight for Eubank. You see benn was always chinny and he didn't have Pavlik's stamina. I still see it going the distance with Pavlik possibly getting the decision.
Canadian please :: No fucking way is Pavlik beating Eubank at 160 or 168. Pavlik does awful against unpredictable styles and boxing skill, look what little Martinez did to him too.
Eubank had bad stamina. Perhaps you didn't factor that into your calculations...and as such got very sloppy after about 7 rounds.
I still don't think Pavlik could do much to capitalise tbh. Collins was actually much busier than Pavlik and had a pretty different style, plus the Collins Eubank was nowhere near as good as the prime 160 version. Another thing is Pavlik isn't as tough/gutsy as I and many others initially believed. He's actually easily discouraged. After being hurt by a few fucking hard counter punches by Eubank, he'd be hesitant and his workrate would drop. By the time Eubank ran out of gas a bit, it wouldn't even matter much.
