Reliable sources have advised BoxingScene.com that former middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik is seriously considering the possibility of staying at 160-pounds. I've heard Pavlik and his team have discussed the possible direction of remaining in the middleweight division. [Click Here To Read More]

Not very likely at this point. I believe Andrade is moving up to challenge Jurgen Brahmer for his title at 175. It was in the talks for the Mosley-Mora card last time I checked.

His excuse for losing to Martinez was weight issues. He also went up to 170 in less than 24 on fight night didn't he?


Why would he want to stay at 168?


Is the weight an issue or not? And who at 160 is there to fight? All the big names are at 168 in the mid weights.

Pavlik would whoop Andrade's ass, and anyone that disagrees, please bet me. I can see Pavlik wanting to stay at MW, and maybe challenge Danny Jacobs if he gets a title. I think the majority of the top level fighters at 168 hand Pavlik his ass.

Who could he beat?

Martinez? Maybe but I doubt it
Williams? Possibly, It would still be a big fight
Sturm? No way, He's just too skilled for someone like Pavlik. Granted Sturm has been beaten before but he has improved massively in the last couple of years. I seem to remember Bernard giving Kelly fits with his defence and jab, And Sturm's defence and jab is excellent. I just can't see Pavlik beating Sturm.

And Anthony Mundine wouldnt fight him so I really dont know what he can do. I dont see much success for him at 168 either and 175 might be too high for him so maybe he will stay at Middleweight but it's hard to see him becoming champion again.
