Even though it's a long shot Pavlik-Oosthuizen would be a entertaing fight

Not sure if the Bute camp will bite. If he doesn't get Froch, Bute will want to stay in Montreal.

Pavlik should stay out of Canada..

I like Pavlik vs. Bute in Canada.

I give Pavlik a good chance of beating Bute if fought in a neutral territory or pro Pavlik territory ..why the hell should Pavlik go to Canada, this gives Bute competitive advantage and jeopardizes Pavlik's health and career stay out of Canada Pavlik...whip this guy in neutral territory,, you are a star Pavlik. Wins will = huge dollars for you over the long haul..

Entertaining as hell but bad career move for Pavlik at this point..

I highly doubt we see Pavlik/Kessler. Getting Mikkel across the pond doesn't seem likely, especially when he's already being negotiated with a potential fight with Froch.

Pavlik/Bute... If he wants a tie with Salido/Garcia, I'm not sure how this would work.

Seeing Pavlik try and get a title stab against Brian McGee (even if it's a farce of a title) seems much more likely, seeing how Kelly doesn't seem interested in fighting anymore "light" touches. McGee is a guy who will fight anyone, anywhere. And Pavlik/McGee won't be THE attraction if paired with Garcia/Salido.

Yeah, I think Oosthuizen would be a reasonable fight at this point. Pavlik even admitted he's got alot of work to do in the gym.

I give Pavlik about 60% chance beating Oosthuzien, too much risk not enough reward, Arthur Abraham, and cream puff chinned Bute are about the same level of risk...but much greater reward..

Pavlik beats Bute now. KO within 5. Bute has shown with Librado and Froch that he can not stand up to world-class pressure fighters and with Andrade, I use the term "world-class" loosely. If Librado Andrade can break you, a determined Kelly Pavlik certainly can.

Kessler would be a logical progression, possessing more grit than Bute but not quite the ferocity of Froch. I think Pavlik could take him to a tough but decisive UD.

Carl Froch would be next. I think that with the momentum from the other two fights, Pavlik would be prepared for his best shot at beating the Cobra. 50-50 fight.

No form of Kelly Pavlik can beat Andre Ward...

IMO Pav should fight Dirrell,they are in the same boat right now(trying to make a come back)..I think they should fight each other to see who goes to the next level..

Pavlik would have horrible time against Dirrell, too mobile.
