    Kelly still has a lot of unfinished buisness at 160... why are people so fast to rush him into fighting JC and Kessler?

    He needs to take abrahams 0 away (real good fight right there) and unify those two belts.... then try and do everything to take sturms worthless belt...

    then theres duddy, lee...

    but at the very least.... Abraham, and Duddy.... then we will see the middleweight landscape by then, and if after that he moves up... fine.. but seriously, right now theres no real point to move up. Be a real, good, long chapter in the historic middleweight division, form a legacy... not a flash in the pan champion whos gone out of the division as soon as he won the title.

    He needs to fight Calzaghe in the next year if he wants that fight.

    If not, by the time he's done with the middleweight division Calzaghe will be gone.

    if he cant get calzaghe than i think he should stay at middle coz he can probably dominate there for some time but if he can get a fight with calzaghe he will take it

    I agree. This obsession with division hopping needs to stop. It would be refreshing to see someone unify & make a few years worth of defences for a change. I would, however, forgive him for taking a fight with JC because he won't be around much longer.

    Cant see him fighting Calzaghe...in 1 or 2 fights Joe will be retired.

    Kelly said himself he wants to make a few defences so Abraham would be the fight id like to see. But its hard to tempt these german based fighters away from their hometowns to make things happen.
