I'd say he a tougher test than Pavlik at this stage of their careers. Pavlik does bring a name and a lot of exposure though so you would expect the Froch camp to go down that route. Oosthuizen is a good young fighter but it would be very premature to throw him to Froch now unless they are looking a pay day.
I actually like this fight. Then the rematch with Bute and then the fight with Pavlik. Then Froch should retire with a rematch with ward if he is still a SMW.
I dunno mate, Pavlik just looks incredibly flat these days still has a bit of power but not what it once was. Seems to be padding up a win streak to get a shot but he really doesn't deserve it. Oosthuizen wins over Johnson and Pryor Jnr (and that's saying something) has more weight over Kellys recent fights.
