How would a fight between Margarito and Kelly Pavlik look? ?

Question

Who would win?

Good fight, Bad fight?

Answer 1

Bad fight, Kelly Pavlik to big to strong. Margarito had a hard time vs Daniel santos at 154 and wasnt able to get pass a taller Paul Williams. I wouldnt give Margarito any chance against Pavlik.

Margarito doesn't have enough boxing skill to fight above 154 let alone at 160. Margarito was a beast against miguel cotto but you got to remember that margarito was 4 inches taller and able to pyhsicaly dominate him not outbox him.

His lack of boxing skills is what caused his lose to santos and Williams. Margarito is made for 147 where he can walk through punches. Unless he devolops movement defence and boxing skills. He took to many easy shots from Cotto. If you added Pavliks power. Margarito would be down for the count.

You gotta keep in mind how Pavlik was able to backdown and breakdown the Harding hitting Edison Miranda.  

Answer 2

Margarito would KILL him.

Answer 3

IT WOULD BE A DOPE FIGHT.. BUT I STILL THINK MARGARITO CAN BEAT HIM OR WORK HIM TILL HE GETS TIRED.. I SAW A COUPLE OF PAVLIK FIGHTS HE PUNCHES HARD BUT GETS TIRED.. HE CANT HANG 12 ROUNDS AGAINST MARGARITO.. I AGREE THERES A BETTER CHANCE OF PAVLIK KO-ING MARGARITO IN THE EARLY ROUNDS, BUT IF IT GOES PAST THE 7TH ROUND GUARANTEED THAT MARGARITO IS GOING TO WIN..BY A TKO FOR OUTWORKING HIM WITH SHOTS TO THE BODY..

Answer 4

It would be worth putting together assuming they both win their next matchups.  One problem for Margarito is he lost to Paul Williams about a year ago because Paul was taller & used his long reach advantage to build a early lead.   I think Pavlik would box him & Pavlik hits harder than Cotto so Margarito wouldn't walk through his punches like he did Cotto's.  I think it would be a good fight but I think Pavlik would win.  

Answer 5

I think it would be an ok fight.but Pavlik would destroy him.margarito had a problem with paul williams.he would get that @$$ kicked by a bigger and harder hitting Kelly the ghost Pavlik.

Answer 6

What we have here is the great chin (Margo) against a boxer that has not faced a latino fighter. Kelly has been down. I think Margo has a great chance of defeating Pavlik.

And again you all are going to drink from the wrong cool-aid-- just like u did in Cotto vs margo.

Answer 7

I think Pavlik gives Margo a serious beating. Margo is a tough guy, but I think Kelly is a little big for him. Kelly's too big a puncher, even for a guy as tough as Antonio. I give Kelly a TKO between rounds 7-10.

I DO think it would be a very entertaining fight for as long as it lasts. Margo will stand toe to toe but lose to the bigger, stronger guy.

Answer 8

The biggest banger in the sport against the strongest chin in the sport.  This could be the crowd-pleasingest fight of all time.  I like Pavlik, I think he has more tools to win a hard fight.  If we want our sport to reclaim it's place in the hearts of sports fans, this fight should be put on TV for free to show everone that boxing is still vibrant.  

Pavlik decision.

Answer 9

I think it would have the potential to be an excellent fight.  Margarito comes right at you and has a great chin.  But he will be facing a full-fledged middleweight with tremendous power.

I am going to lean toward Pavlik in this one.  Superior size.  I don't see Margarito breaking him down like he did to Cotto.

And to Heavy D, please get your facts correct before posting.  You said Pavlik didn't beat any Latino fighters.  WRONG!!!!  He knocked out Jose Luis Zertuche on HBO who was from Mexico and had a 19-3-2 record coming into the fight. Edison Miranda, a Columbian, was 28-1 before Pavlik demolished him.  I also see names like Eduardo Guitierrez, Cesar Avila, Pedro Ortega, and Abel Hernandez on his record too.  They are ALL Latino fighters!!!

Answer 10

It would be a good fight in terms of entertainment. There will be some great shots landed by both men, but Pavlik will clearly land the much harder shots and it will be those shots that would probably put Margarito into TKO submission.
