Will Kelly ever have another big fight or is his career basically over?

I guess you didn't hear pavlik call out pwill.

"Kelly Staphlic"....

Pavlik will target P-Will but he's lost a lot of negotiating power. And based on the attendance and unreleased numbers for that godawful PPV...yikes. Talk about a turnaround.

This is NSB mentality. Pavlik has had a tough past year with the staph and inactivity but that shouldn't, and probably isn't, an indicator of what will happen the rest of career. Brad, isn't a little too early (actually very early) to write Pavlik off? It's not like he's been battered in the ring or past his prime like Jermaine Taylor seems to be. Sh.it, he's only lost one fight in his career! Let's see what he does in 2010 before we give up on him..

i agree,****** fanboy **** writing him off,absolutely ridiculous

like you said he has only lost once and if he gets a fight with pwill in 2010 he will probably beat him in a battle and it could well be a candidate for FOTY,plus their are a lor ofother options in and around the MW division.too say his career is basically over is laughable

@Staphlic

I think he will in 2010. Even if he did want to avoid Williams, money talks, and there aren't any other big paydays for him other than against PWill or maybe Bute (who is also a very good boxer).

American fans and TV companies aren't too keen on champions fighting nobodies. If Pavlik was a European fighter he might be able to get away with it, but I doubt HBO are going to support him fighting another gimme.
