    I'd have to go with Pavlik. He had a better chin and more stamina.

    Benn. Pavlik would try and trade and against Benn that wouldn't work well.

    Benn would win a SMW match and I'm not sure about a MW match. I would also pick Benn in a drinking contest

    I'm kinda torn on this one. Conventional wisdom says that Pavlik should take Benn apart and stop him... but Kelly's defense says that Benn has a great chance. Benn was not Edison Miranda... Pavlik couldn't afford to walk into many Benn bombs.

    But yes, Kelly is the favorite here. Better technically, better chin, and although not AS big a puncher as Benn, still a very big puncher at middle.

    Pavlik KO 7.

    Another one of those fights where I wouldn't put a dime on. I think I'd favor Pavlik slightly simply because in a battle between two bombers the guy with the straighter punches more likely finds the target first.
