Canelo Alvarez (vs Crawford) vs Kelly Pavlik (vs Taylor 2)
Posted: 31 Mar 2026, 04:13
Canelo from the Crawford fight vs Pavlik who fought Taylor in the rematch, that was technically contested at SMW (166lbs catchweight).
I know, Canelo is historically a better boxer. But it is admittedly me matching not a peak (though, still decent) version of Canelo vs arguably the best version of Pavlik.
Pavlik showed he can box well behind the jab in that Taylor 2 fight. Also, demonstrated great workrate.
Would be fascinating to see, how 5'8 Canelo deals with a 6'3 guy, with long arms, decent punch and great gas tank.
Your thoughts are welcomed.
