Who should Pavlik fight in his first fight moving up in weight?

put him against Froch. Pavlik beat Taylor who almost had Froch.Could be interesting.

 

This is a good pick. If he cannot beat Miranda, then his career will not go much further.

 

Andrade

 

Put him in with Brinkley.

 

A Brinkley fight would be very nice too. Better they fight each other instead of Bute. Whoever loses, wasn't likely to do anything with Bute anyway. Whoever wins...well...depends how they win. Maybe.

 

PAVLIK is going into the lion's den so he better find 1 or 2 quick money fights b4 he gets obliterated into retirement...

 

Andrade

 

if hyping a pavlik/bute fight is the goal, then i would like to see kelly on a bute undercard or something fighting andrade, who gave bute hell the first go round or against stieglitz so that a fight w/ bute could be a unification fight.

if a long break is what kelly needs to get everything together and get those cuts healed, then i'm not sure jumping back into the pool with bute is the best idea. but then again, hermit has a point that at this stage of kelly's career, he may not need a "tune up" fight. he may well fare just the same against bute regardless.

 

Pavlik vs Froch will be interesting :good
I don't mind seeing him against Bute. Lucian needs a good opponent and now available are only Hopkins and Pavlik , Dawson has a fight with Pascal; Stieglitz doesn't want to fight and he's not that good and he already beat Bika

 

Bika & Andrade could be a good for testing the waters at 168

 

Manfredo

 

First I need to know what division he is going to fight in. From what I've seen of the way he looks at around 180 pounds I think that if he tries to fight at 168 he'll be right back to battling the scales very quickly.

 

I think he gets down to 164/5 OK. It was going down further was the problem. That would give him, currently, a 3 to 4 pound cushion at 168.

 

He should retire. He has done exceptionally well for someone with such poor skills.

 

Andrade, Sartison, Mendy ...
