And I know froch sucks, I don't care. He doesn't need to pick on fighters from lower weight classes, get a fight with andrade after his injury heals or someone in his own weight class for now.
    Eventually he will have to move up.

      It would be a good fight while it lasted but not a good fight for Kelly. Froch is a naturally bigger fighter, stronger, a harder puncher and more versatile than Pavlik with one punch knockout power. At 168, I'm not sure if Kelly has the power to hurt Froch.

        I never said Pavlik would win, it would just be a great fight while it lasted. That is the only Super middleweight in the division I feel he has the best chance against.

          I am not so sure Pavlik hits like a Mule. Take a look at his knockouts on youtube. Until next time its KO2you

            It should be and its going to be Abraham. Arum pisses me off but I think hes going to make the fight. After taking him out, he should move straight to Sturm. But I really doubt Sturm wants to fight Pavlik, he wont leave Germany. Then he wouldnt even fight Abraham in Germany.

              We need to take into consideration that Kelly didn't KO Taylor at a higher weight. It could be because Jermain fought such a defensive fight or Kelly may lack some power above 160.

                I understand that but I'm talking about career moves, Kelly should fight someone he would have a better shot at beating, in other words a weaker champion than Froch. I think Bika has one of those titles, and that would be a good win if he could pull it out( which he would be the favorite to do). I can't see Kelly having that much success against Froch, hes too strong IMO.

                  I agree and after all he is the CHAMPION so why should he have to travel to fight them, now if one of them wins and beats Pavlik then yes if there is a rematch then Pavlik should have to go to Germany and Fight. Until next time its KO2you

                    The problem with picking on weaker champions are the critics. It may be the smart thing to do but it wouldn't look right to the fans. I rather see Pavlik go out against a decent opponent like Froch than beating a weak champion.

                      Right now the right thing to do after Mora is to fight Queen Arthur, regardless, then if he wins (Which I have confidence he will) then decide what to do next. I know one thing Arum, and Jack Loew will give Pavlik the best opportunities as they go. Until next time its KO2you
