    Pavlik wants the fight but he's been looking mighty average of late....

    Who is Kelly Pavlik?

    The guy a 50 year old Bernard dominated for 12 rounds?

    Sadly, Pavlik's best days are finished. He may have the desire to get back to the top, but his body ain't the same any more. Sharpness, stamina, speed, etc, all declined pretty fast.

    Yep best hope he's got is that he might still be a draw, but I dont even think hes that anymore

    since Bute wants no part of Froch and Ward is easily better than Froch "Froch vs Pavlik" would make sense to me.

    Kelly is back on track, looks okay. Froch is prime, so do it. Kessler moved up in weight I heard, Direll is hiding for no reason, so there isn't much left but Kelly.

    If his last fight is anything to go by then Froch uses him as a punching bag

    Lol! Froch is a ****ing G! I hear Andre Ward has basically told the Froch guys that after he's done with Dawson he wants Froch and Matchroom to basically make him an offer to fight in the UK:lol: Okay, well Andre if you put it that way, how would you like to do 15 rounds with the biggest badass in boxing? No, okay, your no money making ass can go back to doing 12 rounds with no bodies infront of 4000 in Okland.:good

    P.s. As far as pavlik goes that would be a good fight....while it lasted....pressure fighter vs superior boxer/puncher can only go one way.

    Yes, while I was pleased with Pavlik's conditioning and body work... he was far too hittable. He was trying so hard to find opportunities to land that left hook to the body that he left himself wide open to overhand rights all night...though I have to believe that it was partially due to a lack of respect for Rosinsky's power...

    I acutally see this as a good fight. I think Pavlik would respond to the better competition. I can see Froch winning at this stage. But I wouldn't count Pav out just yet.. :)

    Fighters who move in straight lines are meat and drink for Froch.Kelly has no angles,and purely because his style is so wrong for beating Froch,the best he could hope for is a 119-109.
    I think Carl would stop him though.
