He should forget Bute and fight Kessler after another easier fight. Kessler is just a lot better suited for him. More of an orthadox boxer like Pavlik. I think it'd be a great fight.

Abraham would be a better fight right now. Both former champs at MW, both needing to rebuild their careers.Comment

James DeGale would be a perfect fight for Pavlik to get the rust off. Another British sacrificial lamb.Comment

cool...wanna see the Ghost bounce back strong...good move to get a tune up in....Bute is beatable but Kessler puts it on Kell all day imo....Abraham and Pavlik might smack themselves for not fighting back when BOTH were unbeaten...they can fight now but the paper(money) will be shorter than it was a few years ago....I wanna see Abraham-PavlikThe manager of former WBC middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik would like to see him in a tuneup fight in August, followed by a super middleweight clash with either Canadian southpaw IBF king Lucian Bute or former WBA belt-holder Mikkel Kessler of Denmark.

To be honest, I don't know how much a tune up would really help Pavlik at this point. He's almost 30 now and I don't think he's really adding much to his game at this point in his career. Most of his recent fights, outside of Martinez of course have been against pretty weak competition. He's as ready now as he's ever going to be to fight someone like Bute, I wouldn't risk the chance by possibly getting upset in a tune up fight.Comment
