Are we talking 168? If so I would be betting on Kessler. It is doubtful that he can make 160.

Conclusion of this thread? I would love to see all possible combinations. Therefore Pav and AA have to move up to super-middleweight.

Height, reach, over-all size, work rate, and stamina all go to Pavlik. Abraham throws 40 punches in a busy round. Pavlik often throws over 80, and occasionally throws over a 100 with 30-40% accuracy. Abraham fights about 30-60 seconds out of a given round. Pavlik will force him to work every second of every round. Abraham spends a **** load of time on the ropes or in a corner. That's right where Pavlik wants him. Pavlik has something like a 4 inch reach advantage, and if you consider how both men are built, that reach advantage no doubt translates into an enormous arm length advantage. Pavlik is extremely good at judging and maintaining distance. Arthur has a helluva punch, but he simply isn't fast enough to close that much distance before Kelly tags him. Before Abraham/Miranda we had only a few people backing Arthur to beat Kelly. Now we have a ton of them. People are over-rating Arthur because he knocked out a limited fringe contender who has sloppy offense and worse defense. Pavlik/Abraham is not going to be nearly as competetive as some think.

I just started a thread on what Pavlik has said about AA. Kinda thin, but something.
