I see it being similar to the Kessler fight, but Pavlik's higher punch outupt and better stamina being the difference. Kessler is bull strong, but he seemed psyched out by Joe and gassed by the middle/late rounds. I don't think Kelly would be. And though people complain about Pavlik being one dimensional, I think his punch variety is better than Kessler's and he is more accurate with his left hook to the head and body.

Don't get me wrong, I have mad respect for Calzaghe, but I think his age is starting to show ever so slightly, and a guy who grinds you down like Pavlik does is the perfect opponent to highlight that. A prime Joe beats Pavlik IMO, but I don't think he's there anymore.
