    I'll give Kessler, Williams and Abraham the best shots.

    Kessler and Abraham would be good match-ups.

    Wiliams is a dominant force at 147. He is genetically gifted to be that tall and fighting at that weight. At 160 though he needs to prove himself more. Beating up Winky who is IMO past his prime (and just came off a long lay-off) is not proof enough. I like Williams though! He has got a lot of potential.

    Froch destroys Pavlik with ease.

    Kessler would be a tough fight. Abraham needs for Kelly to make a major mistake, IMO. Williams I think could seriously get hurt at this point. He doesn't have the pop to keep Pavlik honest and Kelly has just a high a work rate, except he throws EVERY punch to hurt you. He needs to grow into an honest MW body before taking on Kelly.

    Other than Paul Williams, I agree with this. Paul eats too many punches imo and Pavlik would hurt him.

    Pavlik will struggle with the SMW power and will look stupid when Froch is keeping his hands low and throwing unorthodox punches.

    Frock is like a stiff robotic and slower version of a prime RJJ. Pavlik has no chance.
