    Great fight ....Kesslers never been down (to my knowledge) and is a ****ing master at cutting of the ring and Pavlik is ...well Pavlik, led in both hands .....and a smart fighter as well

    Farken great potential match up if Pavlik ever goes north to 168

    Even though Calzaghe beat Kessler, I give Pavlik a much better chance against Calzaghe, just due to styles and where the fight is located.

    The location gave a huge edge to Calzaghe in my mind and I would pick Kessler to win a rematch.

    It would be interesting. But I think Pavlik will edge this one out. Kessler has that devastating 1-2 but not much else. Pavlik has as damaging a 1-2 as Kessler but, as demonstrated tonight, can throw every punch there is to the head and body. In combination.

    Would be a great fight, but what's in it for Pavlik?

    I think Kessler could use his jab (similiar to how Taylor used it) and boxing skills to outbox Pavlik. He'll wear him down with right hands and eventually stop him.

    Pavlik had a great arsenal of punches, but Kessler has better movement, defense and dynamic (in that he can box and fight).

    Although Pavlik has more consistant power, I believe Kessler has the better one punch power (perhaps because of timing, accuracy).

    I think the Calzaghe fight wasn't a good fight to judge Kessler. Every other opponent he has been in with, he has completey contolled the action and dominated. Calzaghes odd style, speed and movement didn't allow him to get command, but against a more one dimensional guy like Pavlik I think he would formulate a good plan. And for the same reason I believe Calzaghe would beat Pavlik. Provided he is still hungry and in good form.

    If he learnt anything from the Calzaghe fight, he will beat Pavlik.
