for pavlik and abraham there is some good fights at 168. They just don't involve Kessler, Froch, Ward, or "Headaches". Those guys will outclass them every time.

Pavlik and Abraham would make for fun fights against the 2nd rung of talent at 168. The non-elite beltholder-stieglitz. the hardnosed vet, Bika. The up and comers Oosthuizen, Rodriguez, Groves, Degale, Stevenson.

If I was running Pavlik or Abraham's career I would be trying to have my guy fighting good fighters like those named above, but avoid the elite 4 like the plague.
