Kessler is not the puncher Pavlik is.
Historically yes, but the opponents just aren't there. When he deals with Abraham he can move up, and a Pavlik/Kessler would be top my list to see, after Kelly gets a few tune ups.

Pavlik may be lean, but he certainly isn't frail. IMO his power will carry the weight and he'll make a good fight of it with Kessler. I pick Kessler to outbox him, he has a better defence than Taylor and is tougher IMO, in a cracking fight. I'd pickm Pavlik over the rest of the SM's, apart from JC.
