Who wins? Bear in mind, Kelly's two losses came to against a master boxer, and a quick silver southpaw. Froch is neither, and his style suits Pavlik more. At the end of the day, I'd pick Froch. Mainly because he's physically stronger, which would throw Pavlik off. Also, he has a bit more versatility. That's not to say that Froch is fuckin Sal Sanchez or anything, but Pavlik was VERY basic. Froch by decision in a great scrap. Maybe he even gets the alchy outta there in the 10th or 11th.
Pavlik. He was basic. And was pretty shitty inside. But he knew how to set up that right hand. And he'd land it plenty just like Groves did.
Froch against a smaller, straightforward brawler with no real speed to speak off? That's the kind of fight Froch wins 9 out of 10. MTF
