OR

Do they move straight past SMW to try their hand at LHW with Calzaghe (if he's still active), Tarver, Johnson, Dawson.

If Pavlik beat Arthur Abraham then presuming the fights hadn't taken place already then Winky and Sergio Mora would be available at MW and represent good paydays and credible fights, so I think we'd see at least one of them. If Abraham beat him I'm not so sure what would happen at MW.

After that there is no doubt in my mind that Mikkel Kessler would be the best fight for Kelly, but I'm sure he'd take on a few lower ranked SMWs first. If Abraham moved up then I would think that Jermain Taylor would be the most likely 'big' fight.

I don't think we'll see either of them go up to LHW anytime soon, because there is plenty of opposition at SMW for the next few years. If anyone is likely to go up to LHW then I'd say its Kessler, and I'd be looking for him to fight Chad Dawson, in a fight I'd give my right arm to see made.

For Pavlik, a Calzaghe fight trumps everything in the near future, but I don't think Kelly would be wise to take it if it ever becomes available. There is no chance IMO of Arthur Abraham ever facing Calzaghe, though as a Calzaghe fan I would love to see him take on the winner of an Abraham - Pavlik fight.
