Who should Kelly Pavlik fight next?

After that disheartening loss to the crafty vet Hopkins, who is a good opponent for the Ghost to rebuild his confidence? There are a few options. Please pick one. For the record I don't believe he should fight over 160 again for a LONG time to come. 160 is where he is an elite fighter. above 160 we see a sluggish, average fighter with much less power.

He should fight Rubio first and then unify with Abraham, that should put him back in the mix.

it will be Rubio and then hopefully Abraham

Abraham-Pavlik is a fight i would want above any other

[Texas Made]

haha yea Pavlik v Abraham is what i want so thats what i vote for

[The Hammer]

Normally I would say Abraham, but he needs a confidence-builder right now, so Rubio is the perfect opponent.

i,m leaning towards winky. Simply because he's always out of the equation. And in my opinion and many others winky is a good fighter. But ....A fight with Abraham is probably the best option ......it'll definitely be bigger

thats the way i and it seems most feel . . . rubio then look for the unification with AA

Also, I believe that if Pavs can beat Abraham, which I think he will, he could easily stay undefeated at 160 for an extremely long time. Some other names to consider: James Kirkland, if he moves up, Sergio Mora, JC Chavez Jr., Vernon Forrest(if they move up) I don't see Kelly losing to anyone at 160, he is a dominating force their, eons above the fighter we saw fight Hopkins at 170. Anyone agree or disagree?

[AztecWanker]

rubio then abraham is the right answer

Rubio deserves this fight, but Pavlik should fight well this time, "El Veneno" is not an easy cake
