Mikkel Kessler vs Kelly Pavlik now that Pavlik has improved and Mikkel lost who wins?

I believe Pavlik can beat Taylor again (at 166, this time), and look impressive doing it. Taylor has ditched Manny Steward and gone back to his old amateur coach, but the physchological advantage must rest with Pavlik, having won the first fight, and having never lost a rematch as an amateur.

Now to Kessler...

Even if Calzaghe proved that he was better than Kessler (no shame in that), Kessler is still good enough to easily handle Lacy, Miranda and Allan Green. I believe he would KO Taylor.

Regarding a fight with Pavlik, I feel that Kessler would outlast Pavlik in a war, probably with both fighters hitting the deck at points in the fight. This is bound to happen in the US, and so being involved in such a contest would be a brilliant way for Kessler to introduce himself to the American market, if you like. So I am going for Kessler by split decision. After that...rematch, anyone?

I dont think Kessler lost that much in defeat to Calzaghe, he fought a good fight against a classy boxer and i see it being completely different in a fight between two out and out bangers, i was obviously impressed with Pavliks destruction of Taylor but i would still think a fight between Kessler and Pavlik at SuperMiddleweight would be 50/50. Would be great to watch.

i've got faith Kessler can completely out container Pavlik with the aid of fact Kessler has greater rounds journey and fought greater suitable experienced warring parties than Pavlik. Pavlik fought many shorter warring parties and maximum are much less experienced. the two can brawl and that's going to be sturdy combat. i will have Kessler prevailing determination.

Pavlik is on a roll right now and I believe he's the best fighter at 160 abd 168. If he ever gets a shot at Calzaghe he'll prove it, and he'll beat Kessler too.

I always thought that Pavlik would beat Kessler. Kessler has no stamina and can't handle many rounds of constant pressure. Pavlik will kill him!

Pavlik by decision, other than Calzaghe Pavlik is the best fighter in the Middleweight and Super Middleweight divisons.

I have Taylor beating Pavlik. If Pavlik gets by Taylor--- Kessler will beat him.
