Pavlik done at 160 (sorry if this is a repost)

[El Kabong]

Kelly Pavlik is moving up in weight from 160 to either 168 or 175....I think this marks the begining of the end for Kelly. At 168 (much less 175) he's no longer the "big boy" he can't bully those guys anymore. I can't wait for Kelly to get destroyed at the higher weight classes.

despite what you might have heard, not all fighters need a size advantage over their opponent to win a fight

Given Pavlik's style this move will only hurt him. I thought Taylor beat him in the rematch at 166 despite Taylor being pretty much all used up at that point.

Pavlik was never a great boxer, he's a brawler and he uses his size and strength vs his opponents....this move will hurt

he's not the most technical fighter but i could see him easily beating guys like Green, Bika, and Andrade

if he can draw them into wars he has a shot against Froch, Abraham, and Kessler, he still has power a good chin and neither one of those guys has too much in the speed department which is where Pavlik starts to get beat, for that same reason Bute, Ward, and Dirrell all take him

Green - sure
Andrade - probably
Bika - I'm not so sure

I think Pavlik is just going to get murdered at the higher weight classes. Hopkins and Martinez and to a much lesser extent Jermain Taylor have blue printed the way to beat Pavlik.

I even think Carl Froch could beat Pavlik at this point in time

I am still very interested in what happens at 175. Jack Loew was talking about a possible match-up with Chad Dawson and I don't think that would be a bad fight at all. I would give him a good chance at upsetting Dawson.
