    ok we all saw pavlik lose. to b-hop. but lets move foward. at 160 only AA is a threat. but let look at 168 and right no Kessler vs KP looks very possible.

    so who wins this fight?

    Kessler by late round KO...just too smart, bigger and slicker than your typical KP opponent at 160...

    One its not going to happen. The discrepancy between 168, and 170 is very little, and we saw what happend to Kelly when he moved up in weight. On top of that Pavlik reiterated the notion, that he belongs at 160, which he does. Above 160, he is slow, mechanical, and doesn't have the footwork, or the power to be successful. Kessler is a better athlete, and a more fundamentally sound boxer than Pavlik. If Hopkins, who is not known as puncher can hurt Pavlik at 170, so can Kessler.

    Watching Kessler-Andrade on dvd was my reason for changing my pick on the Hopkins-Pavlik fight.I said to myself Kessler looks a better fighter than Kelly Pavlik,but Calzaghe clearly beat Kessler and only barely beat Hopkins.By the way Kessler would win by unanimous decision.

    Bingo.

    Pavlik eats the 1-2's and loses almost every round before being stopped late. Kessler is far better technically, much more compact, better chin, and better footwork.
    Pavlik has better power. But he would just be outclassed.

    Pavlik fanboys used to laugh at that and they probably still will until he steps up to Super Middle and gets demolished.

    This fight is about as fair as De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao.
