Pavlik is still pretty raw and only has one real weapon, the overhand right, but he is long and tough slow down. Taylor fought pretty well but he just cant finish as shown in the 2nd round. He really has not been impressive lately and will have a really hard time against this guy in a rematch especially at a higher weight.
I think that Pavlik beats Wright too. Wright is a crafty fighter but Pavlik will wear him down and pound him with that right hand. Calgagze, assuming he beats Kessler, would also be a logical next step and I'll admit I have only seen him once pounding an overmatched contender guy so I dont know much about him.

He has got a hell of a jab as well. I think the right worked well against Taylor because of the jab. But this kid can throw about everything. He is a very versatile puncher. Its the long kids that dont look that muscular, but are very loose and relaxed punchers, that really hit hard in some of these weight divisions.
