Question

I heard rumors about Pavlik-Trinidad for this summer. Would this be a good fight or is Tito too washed up now?

Answer 1

pavlik would wipe the floor with him he hits too d**n hard for a middle weight theres no way trinidad would win

Answer 2

IF Pav beats Taylor and IF Pav beats Duddy, then he'd be due an easy payday.  A fight with Trinidad would accomplish exactly that.  Tito is too washed up for a big hitter like Pavlik, yes.  But he's not ready for the rocking chair.  He should go up against hand-picked opposition just to see where he stands.  He if looks and feels good, then step up against world class competition again.

Answer 3

Pavlik v Trinidad would be a match made in heaven.  Trinidad showed vs Roy Jones that he's actually still pretty good.  Vs Jones he was just outgunned, as Jones was bigger, stronger and faster.  But back at middleweight, Trinidad is still a fairly heavy puncher.

Kelly Pavlik only knows how to fight one way: going forward.  And while he has a very solid chin, Taylor showed that he can be dropped.  For however long this fight would last, it would be sure to be a barnburner and the favorite to be Fight of the Year.

Plus Pavlik stands to make a fortune by fighting Trinidad.  Win or lose vs Taylor, he needs to make the Trinidad fight happen.

Answer 4

Assuming Pavlik gets by Taylor, I don't think he should take the fight. I only say this because I think there are better options out there for Pavlik, outside of fighting Trinidad who was coming off over a two year layoff and defeat to Jones. Roy Jones, just to name one, would be a better option for Pavlik than Trinidad would be.
