    I think Taylor has a better chance.

    I don't see what's so special about Pavlik besides giving Taylor his first lost.

    He had one of the worst championship eras in history. Over the three years he held the titles, he beat Lockett(protected bum), Rubio(bum), and Espino(reality show bum), and lost to Bernard Hopkins' old ass. Ducked Williams countless times.

    I wish him all the best on his road to recovery, but don't ever see him being a force in the ring again.

        If he fights straight forward fihters like Arthur Abraham or Paul Williams he migh have a chance

        but bute, ward, even froch, would all take him apart and stop him.

        His Kayo or taylor was almost certainly his peak

          I don't think he had that much power at MW TBH, he just threw a ton of punches and was a pretty good finisher. Certainly didn't have anywhere close to Abraham type power.

          LHW is pretty thin right now, so who knows? But Kelly's two fights north of MW haven't been very impressive and he'd be wise to stay away from Hopkins while he's still this side of 50.

            he can still make some $. who wouldn't watch andrade v pavlik?

            I agree that kelly shouldn't be in the same room with hopkins.

            what he really needs to do is dump loew first and foremost.
