Kelly Pavlik-Arthur Abraham?

Question

Should KP defend his title against Gary Lockett in June, is Abraham is next likely opponent? If so, who do you like and why?

Answer 1

i like abraham a lot but i think pavlik would have the beating of him

Answer 2

There was talk about bringing Abraham to the states to fight on the undercard of Pavlik v Lockett to set up a matchup later on in the year, but it fell through.  Now they are both pursuing other fights.  

It would be a decent fight and would certainly determine who reigns in the welterweight division.

Answer 3

I like the Pavlik vs Abraham matchup.  I believe it would make for a pretty interesting and exciting fight.  I think Pavlik would find a way to win and probably by knockout.

Answer 4

That is the fight that Kelly Pavlik most wants but I'm not sure that Abraham is as anxious to fight Pavlik. Unification is the ultimate goal of Pavlik so either that fight or Felix Sturm would be his top priorities but it may be difficult just because these fighters are overseas.

I think Pavlik would be busier and show more power although Abraham may be quicker. I would predict a late knock out victory for Kelly Pavlik.
