    Shaun George: a natural light heavy just outside the top 20. Runs hot and cold. Pretty decent on his good days.

    A bum at 68 first then pending his showing another bum if bad or a fringe guy then fight a guy who is eliminated from the s6 when it goes to the 4 man single elim then take an easy belt from Stieg Pav held the WBO middle so he would be ranked there and add star power to that belt then sit on it for some defense when ready fight the elites.

    The low confidence Pavlik that give away his title against Martinez doesn't have a hope against the top fighters at 168
    He needs to aim low for his first few fights... any old bum at 168 will do, then moving onto fighters like Bika
    An on form Pavlik could definitely trouble Froch in the future though.

    Brinkley, then Stieglitz for the WBO.

    hes going to want to start slow thats 4 sure. unless hes just trying to get a big pay day. go ahead fite kelly. if he fights miranda that will b eeasy for kelly i dnt think he will do that. he should fight andrade, then brinkley, bika, . hes not that good if he wants to improve he cant just jump in there bute cuz ffor real bute will **** him up bad.

    Doesn't Andrade lead with his face. If I was Pavlik's manager I would maybe pick Andrade. And I would duck Ward and Dirrel so hard that my head hit the floor.

    Well, we know know YOUR character, don't we. We can all be glad Kelly isn't the same.

    Unless you're expecting Arthur to lose to Froch, and get elimated from the tourney, this is meaningless.

    Sure would! Sauerland would have to gather Arthur's head up with a mop and a bucket!

    I'd like this, even Andrade. I feel KP needs a fight or 2 at 168 before taking on Bute.

    I don't understand your post.

    At any rate, my point was that it seems that Pavlik has trouble with great or maybe very good boxers. I'm thinking Dirrel and Ward fit that bill.
