The positioning battle at and around 160 lbs. Calzaghe, Pavlik, Abraham and Winky.

We are witnessing a pretty good positioning battle as to who gets the big fights at and around 160 lbs.

The players are:
Calzaghe: If he wins over RJJ will he fight on? In case it's a yes it'll be Pavlik

Pavlik: If he wins he'll go for Calzaghe as first priority. AA is second. Now that AA is seemingly negotiating Winky is putting pressure on Pavlik's camp. If AA fights Winky and Calzaghe retires Pavlik might want Mikkel Kessler hoping to better Calzaghes performance. The logic being that if a (likely) convincing win over Hopkins didn't force Calzaghe in the ring perhaps a KO of Kessler would.

Abraham: He definetely want's Pavlik as first priority. A Winky fight is a good second option but the main thing is to put bargaining pressure on Pavlik.

Winky: A surprise player. He might fight AA if he gets a contract signed. The one last big payday. He might like to fight Pavlik as well but that's unlikely IMO.

Hopkins: Retire!!! goddamnit!!

RJJ: See Hopkins.

I wonder who'll fight who next?
