    I may be in the minority, but I think this will be competitive.

    Pavlik's lost two fights to two supreme boxers. Kessler is not a supreme boxer. Good, sure, but he's not sexy/Bhop. I think Kessler wins a close UD maybe like 8-4 or 7-5. But Kelly has his moments.

    Pavlik vs Ward should never had been made though.

    Pavlik would get hammered by the top 3 at 168 and needs to fight the guys below. AA or Bute would be a great fight for him. If he wins then he's back in contention with the top 3, but if he loses then he's on the scrapheap.

    The bottle is a cruel mistress. Did you not see Pavlik go life and death with that Mexican road sweeper?

    I have not seen Kelly fight in some time. Am hoping a sober Kelly can perform up to par

    Kessler will make minced meat of Pavlik. I simply don't think That Pavlik's defense is good enough to avoid the bombs from Kessler.

    and i would say calm down, AA always loses to Pavlik even now, Pavlik is pretty faded at this point and so is Kessler, its a pretty good warmup fight for Mikkel to take before going for Froch.

    You are correct to a degree, i would say at one point that Kessler could be counted as a supreme boxer (1st half of Calzaghe fight proved as much). Around that time he would have wiped Pavlik out with his hand and foot speed. At this point i think he would still prove to be too strong but he's slowed down enough for Kelly to be able to land a few peachy shots.

    Froch is unavailable.

    He is contracted to fight Bute.

    Pavlik is free. Kessler is free.

    You criticize Froch and Kessler for even thinking about Pavlik, but conveniently forget that Ward didn't only think about it, he made a deal to fight Pavlik... why so biased?

    Btw. this is a rumor from a trainer who heard the rumor. So, no way of really being sure if this will happen, because only a rumor. But interesting to hear what people think will happen if it happens.
