Answer 3

kelly is supposed to fight gary lockett in june, although abraham would be a much more worthy opponent.

Answer 4

i would like to see him fight de la hoya, just so he can be popular and deserve the big name/big money fights.....

Answer 5

He will be fighting Gary Locket in June.  Locket has never won a significant fight, but yet is the WBO's mandatory challenger- thats the sanctioning bodies for you.  I would of liked to have seen him face Arthur Abraham as well because Abraham is a good, strong fighter who would present a stern challenge for the middleweight champ.  Pavlik's promoter Bob Arum said that fight is still a possibility for later in the year though, so hopefully it will happen
