i think pavlik is a good fighter but as for p4p top five i feel that is far too high look at the fighters around him who have foguht a multiple weights and reigned for far longer. i think he neeeds to fight with his head far more than his heart if he is to reign for a long time. if he carries on blocking punches with his face then his career will be short, if he uses his jab though his amateur name of the ghost, named that because he was elusive, will be apt.

I feel an abraham fight will be very close though AA has to short his hooks cos at the momet they loop from a mile out and pavliks jab would negate there power.

Finally those who say a froch fight is a joke are the ignorant ones for me, just ask lou dibella he claims that a froch fight is a very tough one and no wonder he wants taylor to sidestep him. a kessler-pavlik fight would be a clash of identical straight line styles and the tougher one would prevail, which could be either as pavlik hasn't fought at 168 yet. the froch fight though would show if pavlik could deal with lateral movement, an unothorodox stle and huge body shots which he hasn't yet proved at, albeit cos he hasn't come up against it, at world level.

Seriously though, a win over Abrahams, another belt, the guy has to be top 3 pfp material hasn’t he?

I think Pavlik would have too much for Froch, but Kessler would be a different proposition. He is stronger, bigger and punches at least as hard. I think Kessler would beat him by KO in the later rounds. Kessler is a much better fighter than he's given credit for, and is always in peak condition.

Did you see Kessler - Sartisan?

He fights like that against Pavlik he'll get buried inside four rounds.

I think the Kessler fight would be irrelevent - Calzaghe will be retired by the time they've met as he is only interested in Jones now, and Kessler did take a beating to his confidence after his loss so whatever the outcome, Joe will not fight Kelly.

As far as Abraham goes, my reckoning is he'll fight (and destroy) Sturm for the WBA strap then start calling out Kelly. Good match-up, and it could go either way although I'm leaning towards Kelly at present.

Pavlik would batter Kessler. Far too limited technically, and made for Kelly.

As in, Pavlik does everything Kessler does, but he can also fight on the back foot. He’d be counter punching the guy’s head off all night.

I actually think JT would beat Kessler as well. For the very same reason. Fights like that, the person who is the harder to land on generally wins.

Don’t know old foe.

3 world belts, ring champion, victories over Taylor, Miranda and Abraham in the last couple of years. I’d really question who in the top 3-4 would be able to top that?

I think he's doing fine as he is. Why change when his combinations are so effective as they are now.

I'd say if he was shorter he may need to but he has a height advantage against middles and if you ever saw Tommy Hearns everything he did came off the jab. If I was kelly I would carry on and fight as i'm doing now if it's not broke don't fix it.
