Is Kelly Pavlik Going To Have Success At 168lb?

[Perfect Plex]

I have my douts. Although he was rusty, he looked extremly slow, he was getting by some silly shots, and his timing and power weren't there.

Credit to Lopez, but I feel a prime Kelly takes him out within 6. Maybe it was just a bad night. But can you see Kelly causing any of the the top Super Middleweights trouble?

I wound't give him much of a chance against Bute, Ward or Froch. Abraham & Glen would be wars do.

Have we seen the best of Pavlik, as much I hate to say it, I think we may have.

[The Hammer]

I think he'll do very well, if he can stay focused and keep his personal problems under control.

[MonsieurGeorges]

Yeah I don't think he should start going after the best.

What he should do is keep fighting ranked guys in ohio and try to rebuild his fan base and make money

What makes you think this do? I feel Bute, Ward, Dirrel, & Froch all handle him.

I'd say him vs someone like Sakio Bika at this point is a 50/50 fight. And I was thinking I would of favoured James Degale over that version of Pavlik last night.

Dirrell would run, Ward would hold & headbutt. Those wouldn't be interesting fights to watch.

Bute would make for an intriguing matchup, but I would of course pick Bute to win.

Froch-Pavlik would be an entertaining matchup. That's the one I'd most like to see.

But first I'd like to see Kelly become MORE ACTIVE this year and fight a few lesser opponents in Youngstown. Then, fight some of those guys in 2012.

if toprank just makes their own belt and completely keeps it inhouse then yeah. obviously with their own judges and ref. then yeah kelley can be a 168lb champ.

pavlik is now a mediocre boxer. he won't be able to hang with the elite at super MW
