You've got to remember that the Pavlik Taylor rematch is going to be at 166 though... I'm not sure Kelly will want to drop back to 160 afterwards, as there's nobody there besides AA, and moving up to 168 is logical for him anyways. Now at SMW, I think it might be a different story with regards to fighters being able to back him up... I think Kessler would beat him, and there's a good chance he'd be able to back Kelly up, at least in spurts.. Pavlik could probably do the same to him, I just think Kessler's a bit sharper and certainly has better defence. That would be one hell of a fight though, both guys would have to be real careful coming forward.
