Although Pavlik is much more dangerous than Bhop.
I would also run from Pavlik. The guy is a crushing puncher.
But he can be beaten by Taylor.

I happened to be at the second Hopkins/Taylor fight. Taylor matched but much better against Hopkins because Hopkins was never willing to open up and take a chance that he may get hit. Taylor was faster, beat him to the punch and also fought conservatively. He really cant do that with Pavlick because Pavlick will force the action and allow himself to take shots as long as he gets his in too. I think that Pavlick will respect Taylors punching ability a bit more but I think that Taylor will rush in to try to get everbody to forget the first fight. And when he does I expect him to get hammered. If Pavlick gets careless and Taylor catches him, Taylor can win. But I doubt that will happen.
