I think that a Kessler-Pavlik match would be a good one. Kessler fights good going back and some power to his punches, he may hit Pavlik cleanly when he is coming in and get him in to trouble. I think Kessler would have done a lot better (if not pulling out a win) against Joe if he didn't hurt his hand. I think Kessler would give Pavlik a harder fight than Joe. That's just my opinion. I think that Pavlik-Kessler would be a pickem fight, leaning more towards Kessler and I am a huge Pavlik fan. But I think Pavlik would to well against Joe. Either a late round tko or UD.
Pavlik beats Kessler by close UD.
Pavlik stops Calzaghe in 9.
Name me a grade A level fighter Kessler has beat? Kessler as good as he seems, was only truly tested by one grade A fighter and he lost it. Kessler has great fundamentals, but he does not look as good when things are not going his way. It was not all Joe who beat him either. Kessler just seemed to lose his head in that fight, much like Miranda did against Pavlik. Both of them got lost when forced backwards. Time will tell with him on what level he is really at. He has a lot of potential though.

At 168 id be hard pushed to find an argument for pavlik beating mikel.
But for all his punch power at 160 i think he would find the slightly bigger guys are much more resilient and able to cope with it better.
But Kesslers fundamental gameplan as it has been throughout his career is to stand and trade and that would play right into pavliks hands.
Im gonna go for pavlik to KO him late on though i would not be surprised if it went the other way!!
One things for sure..it would sure be fun to watch!
Kessler/Pavlik is a pickem fight for me simply b/c I'd have to see how well his chin and power transfered to 168. If Kessler trys to bang it out though I'm going with Kelly
Joe C looked REALLY easy to hit against BHop. Kelly only needs one. I think Pavlik KOs Calzaghe in the mid-rounds

When has Kessler ever fought good going backwards?
I'm glad somebody made this topic, I been thinkin of this fight for a while now. And I really believe Kessler would win if they met up. He's just solid all around, with a good chin and power and everything. I see him outboxing Pavlik down the stretch.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
Wasnt sold on Taylor either. I like Pavlik, good honest guy who gives it his all. I just think Kessler and Cazaghe both beat him. Kessler would beat him at his own game, faster better punches and Calzaghe wouldnt stay still long enough for Pavlik to get off. Calzaghe would pepper him with hits and take a UD.

Pavlik and Kessler would be a tough fight. Could go either way.
Pavlik vs Calzaghe is a tough fight with Pavlik winning by close UD or late tko or a Calzaghe UD.
