            I never had one before. I do feel slightly guilty, but soon the badger/Calzaghe mutant will be my trademark. People are quick to forget.

                  I think Kessler just, but it's close so voted similar.

                  Abraham is much less predictable and definitely getting better. Pavlik would struggle to break down his defence early on and suss him out, Arthur can lash out randomly at any moment he's an odd one. Kessler is sound all round and much more comfortable and predictable for Pavlik.

                  I give Kessler 55% at beating Pavlik right now. I give Abraham 50%.

                    I haven't seen much of either fighter (abraham's two fights with miranda and kessler with zaggy and andrade) but i'd say both of them have a good chance of beating pavlik. It would be ill-advised for abraham to turtle up like he did in the miranda fights but there's no question that he's tough enough to hang in there with pavlik and he has the punching power to knock him ****less if he catches him on the button...and pavlik is not a defensive genius. I guess I'd give a slight edge to him.

                    Kessler from what I've seen is not quite as heavy handed but rather a more well rounded boxer in the traditional sense. Not exceptional power, speed, or footwork but good fluidity and a patient approach could frustrate pavlik and get him out of his comfort zone.
