Pantera I am a fan of Kelly's, but I do not train at his gym.

I like Pavlik because he has power in both hands, fights with composure, is not one dimensional, he can box, and is humble. His foot work is not perfect and his defense, which was his strength in the amateurs, needs to be worked on.

I agree with you that Zuniga is not the greatest fighter, but he has beat some decent fighters. The one thing is for sure he has a huge heart and can take some serious punches, just watch Kelly's fight with him.

I think Kelly has the tools to win not only the Middleweight Championship, but to step up and win titles in other divisions as well.

I also agree that the only way he gets a title fight, like Miranda did, is by a mandatory. Both he and Miranda are too dangerous for the likes of Taylor or Wright. They may have to fight each other and this is a shame because whichever would win, my money is on Kelly, will cause them even more trouble in getting a big money fight with any of the top guys.

I have a good source that tells me Taylor is going to move up for big money against Calzaghe after he beats the Jr Middleweight Ouma, thus leaving some belts available. Kelly is #2 in the WBC which would give Kelly a mandatory for the WBC belt, but his opponent is what will be interesting. Wright will stay at #1 if he beats #4 Quartey, but will not take the fight with Kelly, too risky for any future big paydays because he all of a sudden is about the money, both #3 (ouma) and #4 (quartey) will have dropped leaving #5 ranked Miranda as the opponent which I am positive he will take the fight. Of course if Quartey beats Winky he will move up and he would definitely take a title fight with Kelly, even though he backed out of a fight with Kelly last year to fight Verno Phillips.

Just my 2 cents.
