....it's fine if Kelly wants an easy fight for his first defense but Taylor took on Hopkins in the rematch and then Winky Wright....Kelly is going to have to have big names put infront of him sometime so why not now?


You at least try to get the fights done....if not, if I was Kelly's management I would entertain going to 168 immediately for no reason other than that is where the big guys are: Calzaghe, Kessler, Andrade, Mundine, Bute, Froch, etc. And Say what you will about those guys but the division is currently deeper than middleweight where the top guys Kelly can fight are: Taylor in a rematch, Abraham, Miranda in a rematch, Sturm, Corey Spinks (who really has the style to beat Kelly if he wore a helmet or something, that might help), Ouma, Karmazin, Sylvester, Joval, and so on.

Kelly has plenty of options but very few megafight options at 160


If Taylor is more mobile and jabs more then he's going to be tougher for Pavlik to beat. Kelly looks a little slow a foot which is not uncommon for punchers with that kind of power
