Pavlik should go back down to 160 and stay the hell away from Kessler

    This is from before the fight, Kessler actually though Taylor would win.

    http://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/anden_sport/boksning/article975489.ece

    He states again that he is willing to fight anybody.
    Roy Jones Jr., Felix Trinidad, Jermain Taylor and Winky Wright. He doens'nt mention Pavlik, but after yesterday i guess he is on the list as well.
    But why would Pavlik fight him, it seems like wrong career move to me.

    Mundine couldn't beat an Egg! Seriously it would be a mismatch with any of those guys, all three would destroy Mundine inisde 5 rounds.

    I was hoping to see some Kessler vs Pavlik fights, at the minute I think Kessler is just too strong for Pavlik, and would stop him as of now, and Taylor should deffo stay clear of Kessler.

    I still think Calzaghe will call out Pavlik next if he beats Hopkins, but they have to tempt him with a huge offer.

    I'd pick Kessler over Pavlik at the moment, but its a good close fight. Pavlik should stay at 160 for as long as possible. There's a number of payday fights(Tito, Duddy,Sturm) as well as credibility fights(Winky, Abraham, and Lee a bit later). So there's plenty to keep Pavlik busy for a couple more years if he can make the weight.

    I'm also looking foward to Taylor at 168, I think he is a serious player at that weight. I've been wanting to see him and Miranda for a while now and since they both fight at the sam weight again it could happen. Calzaghe beats Taylor but he's the only one I'd pick over Taylor comfortably. Bute, Kessler, and maybe Mundine beat Taylor but those are close tough fights. I actually think Taylor-Kessler is a very exciting fight in the same mold as Pavlik-Taylor.

    Honestly a lot of fighters never comes back to full strenght after their first loss. I hope Kessler can do this but I think it will be difficult for a danish promoter to find a good opponent for him. I think Kessler will have to sell himself very cheap and that is not what his promoter is looking for for sure. So far the news is that Winky has rejected an offer. If in SMW I believe Kessler is a strong favorite against Pavlik but at MW it will be a lot closer.
