    That is the fight that should be made. Both have lost their allure and look like raw punchers who haven't improved technically so people know what to expect. Both are middleweights who seemingly can't make the weight anymore. The power on display makes it exciting and neither move very much.

    Back when both held belts I would've said pavlik on points, since then Abraham seems to be on the level he was although his size and lack of power at super middle look to have made him unstuck, pavlik on the other hand hasn't been the same since he made that stupid move up to get spanked by Hopkins plus his so called drink problem. If Abraham and pavlik were to fight I'd say Abraham late stoppage/ points win.

    Despite the both of them being punchers, I'd say this goes to points.

    I used to think Abraham, but seeing how he just couldn't get past Froch's jab and how Pavlik's jab is his best punch, I see Kelly getting a very wide points win or a late stoppage.

    It appears that Pavlik's career is probably over...........................

    I'll miss Kelly. Big guy, long straight punches, heavy hands but he is on the down.

    Hmm they could still fight at super middle. I would say Kelly when both were in their primes at middleweight, and now I would say King Arthur just because Kelly hasnt been very active at all

    Pavlik has no defence and is more of a clubbing puncher compared to the concussive one punch power of abraham.
