    Froch is improved since then and clearly so. I just cant think of anything Kelly does better, 168 takes away all the advantages he had over opponents


    Is the bold a joke?

    I sincerely hope Froch would make this mistake.

    While I agree with most of your ratings, I believe Froch's jab to be very underrated. I don't know if this is because he prefers to keep his left low and use the up-jab, or if it's because he really doesn't use it enough (neither does Pavlik) but Froch's jab is accurate when he uses it and lands very hard. I feel it's a good weapon of his, if he just utilized it more.

    Excuse me, but Froch was also hurt by Taylor.

    Both fought Taylor and comparitively Pavlik faired better, considering Froch got a last minute KO in a fight he would have lost a UD.

    However, SMW is not MW and styles make fights. If Pavlik is well prepared, he will put up a decent fight, but Froch hits harder, has better experience and a much better chin. Pavlik, if he survives will be ruined.

    Froch gives Pavlik the worst beating he's ever gotten.

    Froch would go through Kelly like a bad dose, total destruction.

    It would probably be a good watch, but I think Froch just has too much for Kelly at this point and at 168.

    As several have said, Pavlik's best days are distant history, who knows what he really has left after assorted problems? He had a rspectable loss to SM, but had looked awful against Hopkins. Then after a break, 3 wins against no-names, and probably another one at the weekend. I see in his win against the mighty Alfonso Lopez (!), Adalaide Byrd scored it a draw (probably sitting in the wrong stadium?) and one of the other 'judges' was Cynthia Ross, recently in a tiny minority thought bradley beat PAC.

    His oppo Sat has fought usually at restaurants, hotels, and BB King's Blues club. Real exalted company. Sure Pavlik had a nice straight shot, but these days he's very hittable. Bute discovered what happens if you're hittable, and so would KP.
