Froch vs pavlik. Froch after beating AA, Pavlik after the second Taylor fight. 12 x 3s

Very tough fight-I'm taking Froch on points.

Could be a war. Froch was more accomplished, so he looks like a favorite.

I gotta go with Froch who the had mental toughness to get the most out of himself for a longer period of time, and I gotta assume therefore had the extra mental toughness to pull out a close fight as well.

Both at their very best Pavlik may be a smidgen better than Froch in terms of skill, but Froch is gonna outwill him.

Froch would outpunch the Ghost to take a decision.

Froch for me......he hit bloody hard and often as hell and is not having to find Pavlik and is well capable of taking some bombs back. If Pavlik wants to engage and 'have it', Froch is ready, willing and capable.

It feels like the kind of fight Froch positively loved/relished.

Froch's nightmare was a Ward - very few openings, big shots missing and getting pot-shotted all the time when he tries to force the action - and maybe also someone like Eubank Snr who was cute and too physical to bully and knock down.

This is a fun fight though and I am paying for it
